I have 3 antique roses, Zeffy, Lafter, and Belinda's Dream. Last Sunday we suffered a severe hailstorm in our neighborhood. Size of hail stones ranged from large marble to golf ball sized. The larger the stones the more rough and spiny the shape of the stones. You can already imagine that there was much damage to the garden. (And our roof is SO dead!) Just makes you want to sit down and cry seeing half the just ready to open rose buds on the ground now! Coming so early in the spring, I believe almost all the perennials and shrubs will recover with some help. My question is this: it has been 4 weeks since I last applied fertilizer to the roses, so it's due for another application. I know it is a bad idea to fertilize plants immediately after they have been damaged or suffered severe stress. However, now I am wondering just how long I should wait before feeding them. Any thoughts?
