Making Roses Big and Healthy

What is the best way to have healthy rose bushes? I have heard that coffee grounds really help roses. Is this true?

Ditto the coffee grounds, egg shells, and banana peel. Beautiful results! Also, you can sprinkle a half cup or so of epsom salts around the plant a couple times a year. You don't even have to dissolve it first - just let rains slowly water it in.

Yes its true coffee grounds help every plant, crushed egg shells, banana peels at the base. Don't put the grounds right on the plants, as it could burn the plants. If you have beetles or other insects on them plant garlic bulbs next to them.
