Yes. The acid in coffee grounds, is good for roses, as long as it is not overdone. It is also good for evergreens,a couple of times a week. If you compost, mix it in with everything else.

espresso grinds acidifies the soil, replacing its PH. The PH scale stages from a million- 14, decrease than 7 is acid and above 7 is alkaline (or base). in the experience that your soil is alkaline this is going to maximum likely help your roses improve on the grounds that they prefer a extra acidic soil, round 6.5 or so. be careful now to not acidify the soil too a lot, this can do extra harm then sturdy. My suggestion might want to be to envision the soil's pH both with a save offered kit or by employing sending out soil samples for your interior reach testing middle (this can value about $15).

They are more like compost than fertilizer. They loosen up the soil and keep it from drying out. They do not give a shot of nutrients like manure or vigoro would. Let's face it you have to get rid of those coffee grounds anyway - you might as well put them around the roses.

Yes, as well as tea bags. And cornmeal (for black spot) and also bury banana peels at the base of your plant for a really good reason I dont remember, but my roses are doing great!
