Rose fertilizer.
« on: April 14, 2023, 09:07 »
I have been using a granular feed especially for roses but it's not cheap, so am wondering if Q4 would do the same job as I have a bucket of that for my veg and herbaceous plants.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

You need to compare the NPK ratio which will be on the label of each type of fertiliser.

Vitax Q4 has, I think, a ratio of  5.3 - 7.5 - 10 + Trace Elements
Rose food varies from a level 7 - 7 - 7, to perhaps 10:12:24 (Chempak Rose Food).

I think the Q4 would be OK - its ratio is increasing upwards through NPK.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Think I'm going for some more Vitax Q4 so there are less different fertilizers to buy then sort through when I'm adding them.
