Worm Castings and Roses

     Over the Mother's Day Weekend, we bought and planted two rose plants in our flower garden.  We noticed three weeks ago that one of the rose bushes was on the struggle bus and needed help. 

 The leaves were turning yellow to brown and that the growth was stunted along with no new flower buds.  However, the other rose bush was blossoming and thriving.  Needless to say, we were perplexed.  

    The two rose bushes were about a foot to 2 feet away from each other.  They both were watered regularly and had been fertilized with Miracle Gro Rose Plant food.  So why was the one on the right not thriving but looked sad.  So we decided to try worm castings on the rose bush.  It wouldn't hurt right?  I mean it looked as if it was already on death's door step.  

    So three weeks later, this rose that was on the struggle bus and waiting on the Grim Reaper has now flourished.  We put the worm castings around the base of the plant and watered it really well.  And by the end of the week, we noticed how the rose bush had perked up and there was new growth.  And now three weeks later the bush towers over the other one and has had more blooms than the other one.  In fact the rose bush has grown 18 inches since adding the worm castings.  It blew our minds.  Of course, we have used worm casting on fruit and vegetable plants but we have never used it on flowering plants.  We were thoroughly impressed.
