I purchased Cottage Farms set of miniature roses that had both yellow and pink flowers in the same pot. They are growing and blooming a lot. I got Cottage Farms rose fertilizer, but I can't seem to find how often I should apply it. Any answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is this Cottage Farms rose fertilizer liquid or granular? What are the 3 numbers on the container?
I would say, feed them monthly during the growing season. Keep deadheading those roses too to keep them making more flowers.

Lilysmom, I have this fertilizer also, and it is wonderful. Philip said to use it every third watering, but I feed once a month, a nice application.

I do mine once a week right now along with my other roses....

I purchased Cottage Farms rose fertilizer that has individual packets in a big plastic container.
Thanks for the suggestion to dead head. These are the first roses I've grown and I'm pleased with how they are doing.

It's a special formulation of 18-24-18 (N-P-K), that nourishes rose plants throughout the growing season. -- taken from item # M17411
That is a lot of nitrogen. I prefer using a granular monthly feeding with Espoma Rose Tone-- about 1/2 Cup sprinkled around each rose-- depending of course on height and width of rose. Your miniatures would probably use a 1/4 Cup. The N-P-K of this container bag is 4-3-2.
