The head grounds keeper, who by the way is
also a master gardener, and who
seriously practices IPM has the following recipe
for roses:

For each rose:

-1 1/2 cups of either alfalfa meal or pellets

-1/2 handful of 5 10 10

Apply 1 March and then every 6 weeks.  The 1
March date is for Seattle, WA


I also use the following witches brew.  I use it
on all container plants
plus dahlias and daylilies.

In a 32 gallon plastic garbage can add:

10-12 cups meal or pellets.

2 cups of epsom salts

1/2 cup chillated (sp ?) iron or favorite trace
elements

Let steep for 4 days at least, stirring on
occasion.  Keep lid on can as
it will smell.

Also it is not recommended to use rabbit meal
as some
 contain salt.
