Thank you so much for sharing your process and I will certainly take this up. Can I ask, when should the oil be rejuvinated? Can this be done in winter ?
It’s my pleasure to share! The best time to do the soil rejuvenation is in Spring when you prune your roses, and wake them up. Please don’t do in winter, because you don’t want to wake your roses up too early, and all the young growths will be damaged by late frost!
Thanks for the tutorial. Will do this next year as it a bit too late for me. All my roses have leafed out and ready to bloom. Do you have a video on how you feed them in the growing season?
Yeah, if your roses already went through their dormancy and leafing out a lot then don’t be risk to bother the root system. I don’t have the videos of feeding roses in the growing season, but will do in couple months, but basically I will feed again after the first flushing, and on the summer months, I just feed them very light with fish and seaweed soluble fertilizer bi-weekly until the fall
Thanks for sharing. I do have a question. How often do you fertilize your potted roses during the growing season after this initial rejuvenation and fertilizing for the growing season. How about the roses planted in the ground. Do you use the same method. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for your watching and question! For potted roses, after early Spring fertilizing, I will wait for they ‘re done their first Spring flush, then I will dead head and fertilize the second time, in the summer months, I just only use light dose fertilizer such as fish and sea weed soluble fertilizer bi-weekly, and will keep that routine until fall, I will stop fertilizing at the end of September or latest is in the middle of October in my climate (PNW area). For roses in ground, I just only fertilize with chicken pallets 3-1-2 and mulch with a layer of compost for early Spring. I also do the second lighter fertilizer after their first flush, and that’s it, I don’t do liquid fertilizing for roses in the ground in the summer months, just watering by dripping system. Hope that helps!
Thanks JJ! Most of them I just replace couple inches of the top soil. And I will see how they perform in that season to decide whether I will need to replace the whole soil for the next one. If they keep performing well, then I don’t need to do so. If they are poorly in health and blooming then I will change the new soil in that container. So far I just replace the whole soil in a few containers in couple years. For very big containers, I just do at the top, and still having a good result.
Actually, when I watered for the first time, the water needed couple minutes to get absorbed in the new soil, that ‘s called “hydrophobic” when the mix especially the peat moss gets dry for long time, and I did not water a little bit into the soil before mixing. But after the first soak, my mix got absorbed water immediately from that point
The roses are a testament that your approach works like magic.
Thank you!
Very clear and detailed demonstration of annual feeding of potted roses. Many good points to take away. Thanks for sharing such a useful tutorial.

Lovely. Do you also replace all of the soil in your containers like every few years, or just the top several inches yearly?
Thanks JJ! Most of them I just replace couple inches of the top soil. And I will see how they perform in that season to decide whether I will need to replace the whole soil for the next one. If they keep performing well, then I don’t need to do so. If they are poorly in health and blooming then I will change the new soil in that container.

Does the water take a bit of time to get through the new top soil? I thought it would get absorb almost immediately.
