Green manure & compost are great for maintaining healthy soil, but using banana plants, bananas, and banana skins for roses seems like such a waste of potassium, when you're really looking for high phosphorous.

These NPK numbers are in ratios based on K being common.

4 - 0.5 - 6 - banana plants, bananas and banana skins

4 - 1 - 6 - The popular "Banana Fuel"

12 - 1.5 - 6 - grass clippings

6 - 12 - 6 - Rose fertilizer
