Answer 2

know the habit of the roses you have... some only bloom once in a season... some must rest thru the summer and bloom again in fall... some bloom heavy early then only bloom sporadically thru the rest of the season.... some bloom continually... which kind you have tells how often you're going to get blooms... you cannot 'force' more blooms other than by removing old blooms as they fade.... roses do need fed, but once a month is about all they can use... otherwise, a granulated slow release type of fertilizer , fed every three months is plenty, with a little 'dessert' like a bloom booster added now and then....

Answer 3

Use a 3 in 1 rose care regemin. It is actually sold in bottles of granules at your local nursery centers. It tells you how much of it to use and when based on the size of the plant.
The regemin should be started in May to have full effect.
Roses DON'T like to have their feet constantly wet and need plenty of food and air circulation to keep them in top form and productive.
Even with this product, the blooms (depending on the type of roses also), will wane a bit and then rebound after a period of rest.
Floribunda roses produse the most flowers while tea roses fewer but bigger blooms. Climbers produce the most flowers but can be hard to handle sometimes and go wild. Their flowers are smaller.

Answer 4

Let me tell you about roses. They are a member of the cactus family. Dont overwater. 2x a week is fine. Just water slowly and deeply like with a soaker or drip hose. Dont get the leaves wet. Dig cornmeal and banana peels into the ground by them. If you are fertilizing, too much nitrogen promotes healthy leaves and stems but no blossoms. Use a fertilizer with a high middle number. The cornmeal for some reason stops black spot and the banana peels I think provid potassium(necessary for flowers)

Answer 5

Sounds like they are not getting the nutrients they need as well as the moisture level. Try a rose plant food, and adding multch around the root base. You ay not ave the right amount of sun on them as well. They crave sun, especially morning sun.
