Nutrients That Promote New Canes
I'm in San Francisco... whichever zone that is and have several hybrids
in containers. Last year overall was very cool/cold weather and I have a couple of roses that did not produce any new canes at bud union. What nutrients are needed to ensure strong, healthy new canes as foundation for next years growth? So far this year I have used organic alfalfa meal and sul po mag (sulfur, potassium, magnesium) from E. B. Stone (one time end of Jan) and water with MaxSea All Purpose added. Plan to use E. B. Stone Rose Food every six weeks throughout season. Thank you, in advance for any suggestions/comments... Jim |

Jim;
I've used Epson salts to promote basal breaks. Also, make sure your bud unions are at or above ground level for the best results. Sun on the union seems to help. How big are the pots? Root-bound roses don't tend to throw basal breaks. Good luck Jeff, Southeast Michigan, Zone 5 "Jim" wrote in message ...

Do you do it every feeding, or is it a once a year thing? |

Once in the spring, about 1/4 cup around the base of the plant. Scratch it
in a bit. A good drink of water afterwards would be good. Also, just so you know, here in Michigan, we either bury the union several inches and or cover them in the fall to protect against freeze. I find the ones I bury are more likely to survive, but product fewer basal breaks. Jeff, Southeast Michigan, Zone 5 wrote in message ... On Feb 18, 6:36 pm, "Jeffrey L.
