CARING OF ROSE BUSHES

Question

I am from kerala, India and grow few rose bushes in my home.. I usually buy budded rose plants from nursery and i see that they are well established ( with long stem and big blooms)…The stems looks green and healthy…When we buy them and grow in our home, they will never grow like in nurseries.. I prepare potting mixture with sand, soil and cocopeat and transfer the plants to pots and after some days , will give some chemical fertilizer.. But i observe that the rose canes begin to change its colour and stems look dry … I dont know why it happens.. Can u please explain why this is so??? In nurseries, what they are giving to budded rose plants for this vigorous growth and large beautiful blooms after budding???

Answer 1

I'm sure everyone has that question. Nurseries grow their roses in a controlled environment with precise watering and fertilizing. I would visit the nursery where you buy your roses and get some tips from them on how they grow their roses.
