My knowledge is based on what I found at various internet sites AND THEY ALL DO NOT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER.
The American Rose Society considers NPK 6-12-6 as balanced rose food.
Know I feel it does not matter what you feed them, the plants are selective in absorbing elements according to their requirement.

Re: best fertilizer to grow plants?
