Caring for my Shabby Rose Garden


Hello lovelies!
I posted about my Shabby Rose Garden project and I had several people ask me
what kind of "magical" rose food I use.
I bought my rose bush at Lowe's last year,
it is a climbing rose.
I planted it on the south side of my house where there is alot of sunshine.
The rose bush was $30 (a splurge for me) along with it I purchased
Bayer Advanced Rose and Flower Care ($15) at Lowe's.
Bayer Rose care nourishes and protects against spider mites.
The first year I cut the rose back so it would stay healthy.
After it gets done blooming I plan to cut it back again.
I am only a gardening beginner, so I was
surprised by how this rose has flourished.
As always thank you ever so much for stopping by!
Good luck with your gardening!
Big squishy hugs,
Olivia
