Whatâs the weather like in the Lake Chapala area? How does it affect our lives here? At approx. 5,000 ft. above sea level, surrounded by mountains, and with the Lake our area has only a moderate temperature variation from month to month and season to season.
Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:35 am. Has anyone ever tried using blood meal as fertilizer for your roses? Years ago a good friend of mine gave me a few bags and it was amazing how beautiful my roses were. He worked in a meat rendering company in Montreal and this was one of the products they made from bone and fat.
I used bloodmeal this year for the very first time, and I've been rose gardening for about 7 years total. I buy all of my roses from Roses Unlimited here in S.C. and that's where I got the idea of using it. They suggest using it at the start of each season. They suggested 1/2 cup of bloodmeal, and because this is the first time using it I cut that amount in half and only used 1/4 cup for each rose plant.
