Summer Rose and Vegetable Fertilization Tips from Iowa State

Iowa State Extension Horticulturist Ben Vance advises a light rose fertilizer now through August 1 to sustain production, with a heaped tablespoon of 10-10-10 per plant and careful placement away from canes. For tomatoes and other vegetables apply two tablespoons per plant after fruit size, and use nitrogen-focused fertilizer like ammonium nitrate. Maintain soil moisture with deep watering and mulch to control weeds, prune raspberry tips for better yields, and spray fruit crops to protect new growth.
