2. Coffee grounds - Roses thrive off of soil that is slightly acidic. A great way to make soil acidic is to mix some coffee grounds in with the soil either prior to planting or even after. If you wait until after, just mix the grounds in around the base of the plant, and they will do the rest.

3. Egg shells - Egg shells are filled with calcium and all sorts of other vitamins that roses thrive on. Crush up your egg shells, and mix them in the soil around the base of your roses so they can continually feed off them. You can also add crushed shells prior to planting for a calcium boost.
