Rose garden

[Fuma]

Anyone into this type of thing?
Busy with my backyard landscape and have added a few roses (around 30 rose plants) in my garden. Been going to a few nurseries (Ludwig's Roses etc) to get bush roses and climbers.
What roses have you planted that you have had great success with?

Got four different types. No clue what they are as they were here when I got here. They all grow very well.

I feed them that botanical garden fertilizer once or twice a year. Many roses around me with the neighbours and mine always look the best.

Hello.

Here are some. The yellow one turns white-pinkish as they mature.

Pinkish-red one next to it with the small flowers and then the one without open flowers yet carries white ones.

The other one is a dark red.

Thank you. Only saw the pics now. Looks like well established roses.
Just got this interest in roses all of a sudden. Very expensive hobby it is turning out to be.

The white iceberg roses seem to be the only ones that do well in my garden.

Have two plants that are doing well for over 10 years.

The others I bought over the years didn’t last.

From what I can tell, the less you do for the icebergs, the better they perform.

I just chuck some epsom salts around them every 2 or 3 years.
And then in spring I add a handful rose fertilizer I bought 10 years ago.

This is the fert I use.

Just a heads up, this should interest you. At builders or a nursery take a look at the organic fertilizers, they vary in price quite a lot.. now look at the NPK on the various ones, they are almost if not identical in make-up %

price shop, be warned

 

[Tongs of Destiny]

These two fertilizers are identical in their chemical makeup, identical. So what am I missing?

I've given up on my rose garden, it just became fodder for beetles and bushbuck.

Garden needs some maintenance but they have come along rapidly now. Only the small one must still open its flowers but it's always the last with its white roses.

I live by a simple rule. Don't plant anything unless you intend to eat it.

Each to his own. I could never understand the fascination about roses in your garden.
Its not a nice looking plant.
Ok it sometimes have a nice looking rose, but the rest of the plant is still ugly. Then the rose looks nice for two days and the you just sit with half dead roses to look at on your ugly plant.

This is such a non gardeners way of looking at it

There are those edible ones you can plant? lol
They are also great for pollinators in your vegetable garden. So companion planting can give your garden a nice look.
