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.
Yes blood meal can be used on roses usually at 2 TBS per MATURE rose bush if needed... opinions may vary but that is mine... I have Dr Earth bloodmeal which calls for 1 cup but I think that is way to much for mature roses... Like I said if to much is used then roots can be burned or lack of flowering may happen...
Whatever I use to feed the rose bushes for their first feeding of the season is then alternated with another of those rose foods or fertilizers on my list for the next dry mix (granular) feeding. That next dry mix feeding is around the early summer. Alfalfa Meal â 1 cup alfalfa meal â Twice per growing season for all rose bushes, except miniature rose bushes, 1/3 cup per mini-rose bush. 2  Mix into soil well and water in to help keep it from attracting rabbits that will then nibble on your roses! (Alfalfa tea is very good as well but also very smelly to make!).
