Yes, coffee ground is very good for roses. Coffee grounds have high nitrogen content, and nitrogen is one of the minerals that make roses grow healthily. However, when you add too much coffee grounds to your rose, it could burn the roots of your precious flowers, and that’s one of the things you have to watch out for.
This of course begs the query “How does nitrogen affect the growth of Roses?”
One answer is, nitrogen encourages healthy, vigorous leaf growth. Since a rose’s ability to make flowers resides in its leaves, healthy foliage results in more flowers. Too much nitrogen will result in too much foliage and fewer blooms, while not enough nitrogen results in yellow leaves, stunted growth and smaller blooms.
Can roses grow without fertilizers?
A few old-time roses flourish without fertilizers, but most modern roses rely on heavy feedings to produce luxuriant blooms and glossy foliage. Understanding the basics behind fertilizer choices and what they mean for your roses can help you choose the right fertilizers for your rose-growing needs.

The primary nutrients (macronutrients) that all plants need are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Nitrogen encourages healthy, vigorous leaf growth.
What do you feed roses to make them grow?
Nitrogen promotes foliage growth; phosphorus encourages healthy root and flower development; and potassium maintains vigor. Calcium, magnesium, and sulphur (secondary elements) and trace elements (boron, chlorine, copper, and iron) also promote plant-cell and root growth.
