I bought mix soil of compost from a nursery every year, but I guess it didn’t help much. do you have any bag brand compost for suggestions?

I use fish fertilizer. And I bought soil from a nursery. I only bought organic soil, I’m in zone 7 NJ and it $60/yd. I was advised to get the best soil from nursery, so I did, but then I see the soil does look sandy and hard after watering. Deep down about 1ft when I dig, it’s only sand and rock down there.

Ahh, thought that looked familiar.....I grew up in the Philly / Jersey area. That is exactly the problem, sand,{quarts} adds nothing but drainage to the soil....which is causing the anemia in your plants. { Even though you are feeding, there is very little for this soil to hold onto, so it's basically going right through the soil.} You need to add a clay topsoil mixed with lots of compost. At this point, as the plants should be dormant, i would dig out as much as possible of the soil around the plants....which also means you will need to widen the "island" beds, { the ones with the individual bushes.}....and then mix this sand base with the before mentioned mixture with an added bonus of peat moss. An easier option, and one that is less invasive, is to build a raised bed wall around the plants so you can add good soil on top which will also leave room to mulch, { which goes by the name of "compost" you can get this from state or township recycling centers. This is "Black gold" for organic gardens.} All these components add nutrients AND the ability to hold on to these fertilizers. With these added materials, the next thing that will happen is "worm activity" These critters along with other organisms will carry the good soil through the sandy substrate for you. All you have to do each spring is add another layer of the black compost....then a layer of Non-wood mulch, like licorice root, and remember NO artificial fertilizers, { these add nutrients but kill the natural organisms that help feed the plants.} With this, all you have to do is water and manicure your garden while your roses will take off. Also, with our hot summers you can plant ground cover perennials and annuals around the roses to help block the sun's heat while looking pretty. The more biodiversity, the happier the soil life, the more happy the soil life, the healthier and happier the garden....which leads to bigger and healthier roses. Hope this helps, and let me know if ya have any questions 🙂@@vintagegarden93

@@craigathonian oh wow , thank you. I will try to do a little bit a day with my little hands. 😀

I am in zone 7, what about yours?

I agree. I have the Souvenir de Malmaison and I know is a diferent rose, is a pale pink. But i have a lot of roses and since I didn’t keep the tags, I don’t know how to identificou them. It seems Prencess Alexandra of Kent.

Yeah, the picture on the label is lighter pink. I was doubting too.

I think its Koko Loko

I was doubting its name on the label too because the color looks so different

it sometimes happens we get a mislabeled rose - but Comte De Chambord is a good and very fragrant rose
