Pat has recently come out with a totally organic version of her original book Pat Welsh’s Southern California Organic Gardening. Even though the original version relies heavily on organic means I suspect that the newer version replaces the superphosphate with bone meal, the urea with blood meal, etc. If I didn’t have my little garden helper below I would adhere to the organic version. Unfortunately, he would (and has) found bone meal and blood meal highly appealing.
You can find Pat’s original updated book on Amazon here If you live in California I would highly recommend it not only for her rose program but as a resource for all your gardening needs. My only deviation from her program is the addition of alfalfa pellets (2 coffee cans full) once in January (I have been known to not get this done until March and they still cooperate) and once in July.
Pat also has a very informative website with tons of helpful information here
I hope you enjoyed How to Grow Beautiful Roses. Have a great week.
Happy Rose Growing!

I cannot look at yellow roses without thinking of my deceased father. He loved them. I do, too.
Great Job Cindy. An excellent post post regarding rose gardening. Spring is going on and fresh flowers are blossoming. I love these pictures. Yellow and white roses are looking so gorgeous.. Thanks for sharing.

I have a small rose garden at home and am always so excited for the first bloom of Spring. Just love their beauty and fresh scent and have such a hard time cutting them for use indoors as they are so pretty on the vine!!
Cindy, back again! As I said in my email, my roses get babied big time..in very early Spring as soon as the ground thaws well, I begin a regimen of manure tea, Epsom salts and fish emulsion…two watering cans per plant at the base, till they are in leaf…roses are voracious feeders…then I give them a break till they bud…then proceed again till they are swelling and ready to bloom… They get hilled at the base with leaf mold or compost, whatever I have here in late fall,we live in a wooded area, shade and surrounded by a hardwood forest…challenging but possible…if I can do it anyone can! Thank you, Cindy, always love my visits here! N.xo
