Miracle Gro & Roses

Identification

• Miracle-Gro for roses can be identified by the boxes' pink color; it is a powdered food in a plastic bag. It is water-soluble and has a fast-dissolving action. The ingredients are abundant with the exact nutrients and elements that roses need to flourish, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Miracle-Gro also makes their Shake 'n Feed for roses, which is premixed for more convenience.

Function

• Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, copper and chelated iron help feed the roses, so they can grow and be healthy. Miracle-Gro designed this product to rapidly dissolve in water and be easily absorbed by the rose. The nutrients are taken in through the roses' roots and leaves.

Significance

• Healthy roses are not only a pleasure to look at and smell but they are also more resistant to attacks from bugs and diseases. Proper feeding helps them to grow to their full potential.

Types

• Miracle-Gro for roses works for all types of roses. If any type of rose needs specific instructions on how to be fed with the product, information is contained on the box. Typically all roses require the same type of feeding; differences in amounts are usually dependent on the size of the rose bush.

Warnings

• It's important to follow the directions for the proper amount of Miracle-Gro to use to feed your particular type of rose. Overfeeding or under feeding is going to result in unhealthy or even dead roses. Miracle-Gro can also be harsh on some people's skin so wearing gloves when mixing your rose food is a good idea. Additionally keep the product out of the reach of children and pets.
