🌹 Feeding Roses with Rotted Manure — Natural Support for Rich Blooms

Roses are demanding garden plants. They need nutrient-rich soil, stable moisture, and good soil
aeration. Natural rotted cow manure feeds roses slowly and evenly,
supporting strong root growth while preventing the risk of root burn.

🌿 Why is rotted cow manure the best choice for roses?

• Safe and gentle — unlike fresh manure or harsh chemical fertilizers, it won't burn the
  rose's delicate roots.
• Holds moisture — improves soil structure and helps retain moisture, which is especially
  important for roses during dry spells.
• Living soil — feeds beneficial soil microorganisms, creating a healthy, thriving growing
  environment.
• Long-lasting effect — nutrients are released gradually throughout the summer.

🌹 How to use rotted manure in a rose bed?

• In spring: Spread a 2–5 cm layer of rotted manure around the rose bush and gently mix it into the top layer of soil.
• Early summer: Add a thin layer before the roses' second bloom to give them extra strength.
• In autumn (mounding): Use rotted manure to cover roses and enrich the soil before
  winter arrives. Spread 5–10 kg of manure around the bush, which protects the roots
  from cold. In spring, spread the pile out and lightly dig it in.

⚠️ What to avoid:

• Never use fresh, unrotted manure around roses.
• Don't pile rotted manure directly against the rose's woody root collar.

🥀 Planting new roses with rotted manure:

1. Dig the planting hole and mix up to 20% rotted manure into the existing soil.
2. When planting, make sure the roots don't come into direct contact with the fertilizer layer —
   add a thin layer of regular garden soil in between.
3. Fill the planting hole with the soil mix, firm it gently, and water thoroughly.
