Welcome to the group. As far as fertilizers I think the recommendation for a long time on this group has been to use time release pellet fertlizers like osmocote. The other recommendation is to go to fish emulsion. If you can get over the stinkiness (which just lasts a day) I highly recommend it. I only have to feed 2-3 times a year. -- Theo Thank you Theo. I read earlier about using compost and then put alfalfa meal, epson salts, blood meal and osmocote time release on top of the compost. Water in with water and fish emulsion. Do you do this all at the same time or spread it out? Would this much stuff harm new plantings? Also, what kind of things are used for mulch and how deep do you apply it? I was told in very cold climates that I should plant the bud union about an inch under ground. Is this correct or should the bud union be above ground? I guess that is more than enough questions for now. Thanks again Theo for the welcome. Sharon in MN in KC Z5 "Sharon Capps" wrote in message ... Hello, my name is Sharon and I live in MN zone 4 is what they say. I am new to roses and have purchased a few roses from Veseys and I am awaiting their arrival. I bought Therese Bugnet, F. J. Grootendoorst, Topaz Jewel and Kaleidoscope which are Rugosas and I also bought Stanwell Perpetual. I bought two climbing rose, Henry Kelsey and William Baffin. I understand that they are all easy to grow. Is this the truth or just a marketing ploy? I also read that Rugosas do not like to be sprayed with insecticides or liquid fertilizer. Can a person put a liquid mixed fertilizer around the base after watering or should you water it in? Thanks for any help and I sure do love this group. I have been reading for about a month now.
