| Hello folks! I have a mini rose bush that lives in my grow room and would like to feed her some bonemeal, but the directions are not very clear on how much I can use or if I can mix it with water to apply it or what. Also I don't know how often to feed. Any help would make my little plant very happy! Thanks in advance. |

| I don't think mixing it with water and adding is the way to go. Also, FYI - triple superphosphate is a better source of phosphorus than bone meal. Plants can absorb it better. I'd use a tablespoon yearly in the spring. Deanna |

| You can either sprinkle it around the base of the plant at the drip line and scratch it in, or you can poke three or four holes down a few inches and put a teaspoon in each. The roots will find it. |
