Food For Potted Roses?

[crescentscapes]

I heard when planting roses in pots its good to add bonemeal, fishmeal, and or bloodmeal. Is there anything else that I can use in place of this? Thanks!

Most roses from nurseries come with a certain amount of fertilizer already in the soil. Nurseries keep their roses well fed so they bloom, look attractive, and go home with someone.
After your roses have been potted for a month, you can always give them a drink of compost tea, or manure tea. You can do this monthly if you like, since nutrients in the pot's soil will leach out more quickly than for a rose planted directly in the garden.
