Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening Podcast.

We're still talking roses here with Beth Fandboxdoll, a full time realtor here in San Diego.

On a side note, Beth, I have been fascinated to just follow all the homes you've sold

over the last.

I don't know a year and a half or so.

It's been a crazy market.

It's been really fun to follow that, but equally fun to follow all of your rose journeys.

For those of you who are just catching up, Beth grows 120 plus varieties in her backyard.

So she's got quite a depth of experience growing roses.

And today we're talking about fertilizing roses.

So Beth, yesterday we talked about just the basics in the first year.

Use any sort of fertilizer that has the word rose in it if you're in a pinch.

But I know there's a lot to say here.

So I figured why not give us a little more info on how to fertilize these guys.

Sure. So roses are one of the most hungry flowers that I've ever grown.

And I've grown quite a few flowers.

Roses are pigs. They love to eat.

One of my favorite fertilizers that I use is a liquid called better than fish.

And it's similar to fish emulsion.

Roses love anything from the ocean.

So seaweed, kelp, fish, algae kind of things.

I use better than fish probably every week on my garden.
