How to fertilize China Rose
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your China Rose after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Rose newbie overthinking 👍 #ChinaRose Hello! I got this plant as a gift from an important person and I'm afraid I'll kill it with my little experience. I do know roses are hard and I hope that if any person who knows better will tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. 🩷 It does have drainage holes, I watered it yesterday after I guessed the soil was getting dry enough. But I might have done that wrong.. the bottom leaves are getting a bit yellow.. dammit. Something tells me that the browning edges are not good, and that bud the buds that just seem to die.. (Didn't give it any fertiliser yet - total newbie with that, kinda embarrassed right now) It sits at about 25 centimeters from the window, was thinking of putting it on the balcony, but it's scorching hot and bright out there, so I guessed this was the best place. (Facing south) I do have brighter zones in the house for indirect sunlight if that's better.

The app has identified my plant as ChinaRose 🌹I've added a photo of how it looked 8 weeks ago. It is looking sad at the moment. The leaves are dry and breaking off. I have noticed what seems to be pests on the leaves. Any advice on how to revive her? #ChinaRose

I simply love her the minute I saw her. I love roses and always wanted to grow them. I found it at Safeway and it was the only one. I couldn’t put it down cuz I felt bad that it was all alone and most likely be thrown out or die in a home with no love. So I bought it!!! It’s a perfect Mother’s Day gift to my mom....and to me. Cuz I’ll be raising it haha
