On paid TV in Australia I saw a segment of Martha Stewart Garden. She was
talking about Roses, I only glimpsed the last bit and she was doing an
Epsom
Salt Spray on her roses. Does anyone know why? and is it beneficial for
Australian Climate.

Regards.



I am not sure that I would trust anything Martha Stewart says about rose
culture!

Epsom salt is usually applied to the soil to encourage new basal breaks.

I mix Epsom Salt, celated iron, water soluable food and fish emulsion and
apply it in the spring.
