It’s always great to hear from a fellow rose lover. Your grandmothers method of placing chopped banana peels sounds great. Banana peels are loaded with potasium that can benifit roses. I will try this method on some of our rose bush’s and publish the results. We would not advise leaving the peels for long periods of time as decaying debri can invite unwanted pests and fungi.

Thank you for your comments,

My grandmother would chop up her banana peels (or old bananas that were past even the banana-bread stage) and put those around the base of the rose bush. And she had gorgeous roses!
