Hello everyone. I bought this rose 2 days ago when I passed by our local nursery after some grocery shopping. I don't know what's it's name since here in the Philippines they call all roses based on their color. The local nursery did not know what umm cultivar it is or where it originated. *sighs*
Today I went to the hardware store and bought granular fertilizer 14-14-14 and there was another that caught my attention a 15-15-30. Which one should I use for my plant?
Attached are some of the photos I took using my rather old phone, so pardon the poor quality. Can you help me identify what rose it is? Total height is around a foot to a foot and a half not wide though. I am interested in the green bark it has.

I just bought a granular fertilizer with 14-14-14 label and another fertilizer that needs to be diluted in water with 15-15-30. Which is better?

A really simplified interpretation of NPK. N = nitrogen (for leaves); P = phosphate (for roots); K = potash (for flowers). It depends on your soil. If you have an excess of potash, then 14-14-14 would do. Roses like potash and if your soil has a deficiency of potash, then 15-15-30 would be better.
I almost never use chemical fertiliser for potted roses. Too burny. I use lucerne hay topped with sheep manure, and once every three months perhaps, 1/4 teaspoon of sulphate of potash.
