Roses are pruned and fed through the year. Organic matter keeps the root zone open and moist, and phosphorus supports roots and flowering.

Figures per hectare (t/ha, kg/ha) are field rates; the sources do not give a per-pot conversion, so none is given here.
These are general published recommendations for the crop, quoted as the source gives them. They are not FAMCO product doses. Follow a soil test and your local agriculture or horticulture office.
