new Brandy HT! questions on organic rose fertilizer and selfwater pot
Thanks Gail for your kind help!
I went to a reputable nursery and bought a 5G Hybrid Tea "brandy" for $37. It is THE most expensive plant I've ever bought and it is my first real rose! I sure have high expectation on it. 1. about organic fertilizer The nursery professional recommened me do MaxSea foliar spray (16-16-16)weekly and use Dr. Earth on root several times a year. I'd like to do organic gardening. I use "whitney Farm" all purpose plant food on my other plants, which I assume is true organic. Is WF good enough for my Brandy? Is it better than Dr. Earth? Is NaxSea a big booster? I just started gardening this year and had no experience with foliar feeding. Do you recommend WF all purpose plus Maxsea? 2. Pot The Brandy comes in a 5G black nursery pot. I have to keep it in a container because I only have a balcony. I'm thinking of transplanting it to a white 14" self-watering planter bought from IKEA. This pot is bigger than the black 5G pot. And I thought the white color would be helpful to reduce the root heat in my northern CA climate. Is it a good idea to do so? Should I do it now or wait until dormant period? Anyone had experience of using self-watering pot for roses? Thanks a lot! I get a bit nervous with my new baby. Really wish it well! Tiff |
