Default Best Fertiliser

What's the best fertiliser to use on perennials in order to get the

best
show of flowers? Bonemeal, tomato fertiliser, rose fertiliser, general
purpose fertiliser.... the choice is endless and I'm confused!

If you work on the fact that high nitrogen fertilisers will encourage
leaf growth and high Potash encourages flowers and fruit. You then just
need to choose. Rose and Tomato fertilisers are high Potash, and I
suspect that they produce the huge variety of fertilisers with specific
crops listed just to get us to buy more. Tomato fertiliser is certainly
good for fuschias.
