Hey all the solstice approaches!! Hooray for summer!!!

Here in the Pacific Northwest we are all given the gift of our beautiful rose's beginning to bloom this time of year. Its important to remember to give back to the plants by fertilizing them. In the PNW rose bushes should be fertilized either after each blooming cycle or once a month, on roughly the same day. Make sure to select a fertilizer high in nitrogen as roses are nitrogen lovers. There are many fertilizers both organic, and non, that are specifically formulated for roses! Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
