INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Next, as quickly as you can, twist his arm and attempt to bring it behind him. When you're done, you should have a hand firmly on his arm, with it pressed against his back. This places you behind him and is rather painful. If he is quick or strong, throw your arm around his neck and put him in a headlock of sorts, further stabilizing yourself. The next move is up to you. This will probably stagger him and make the counter easier. Grab his leg and rip as hard as you can in any direction, but going towards you can work well. If he falls, try to bring his leg up and close to his back as fast as possible. Sit on him if you have to, but keep his leg held. If he reverses the counterattack, get out of there and recover. If he starts a leg choke, you're done for, unless you're lucky. Or very fast and strong. The second option can be better, in some cases. Keep in mind that untrained grapples are much, much easier to counter than someone who's trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for half of his life. First, break his grip. This can be done many ways, but simple grabbing his arm and tearing it away can work. If it doesn't, strike the inside of his arm, and aim for the elbow joint. If you hit him hard enough, not only will it hurt like hell for him, but he'll probably let go. In the split second of confusion is when you make your counter. Snatch his arm and do something similar to a punch counterattack, or you can try a new move. Then, grab his wrist. The backs of your hands should be facing you. Then, with one foot planted solidly, put your other leg in front of him like you're going to trip him. Because you will. Now throw him from the arm you have seized, and he should fall quite naturally. From here, you have him on his stomach, with his arm pulled out and back. He is pretty helpless. You can hold him there even better by putting the foot you tripped him with on his back. From here, you can inflict pain by pressing on his joint. Be careful, though. You can easily break his arm unintentionally, or intentionally.

SUMMARY: If he goes for a move with his arms or hands, such as a punch, intercept the blow as soon as you can. If he tries to kick you, block the attack first. If he attempts a grapple, you can dodge, or you can let him get you. Still, even if you're fighting a complete noob, you have to be careful. Place an open palm, with your fingers together, on the outside elbow joint.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Foliar feed is a liquid plant food that is sprayed directly onto the leaves. In addition to providing the plant with nutrients, it also helps protect against disease. Begin feeding your Midnight Blue rose bush as soon as it’s established in the spring (about 3-4 weeks after planting, or as soon as you see new growth on an older plant). Feed it a couple more times during the growing season – once after the first blooms form and then a final time around midsummer.  Water your rose bush before giving it fertilizer. Do not give fertilizer to a thirsty plant. Follow the dosage guidelines on the product packaging. Excess doses can damage the plant.  You can opt to sprinkle a slow-release granule feed on top of the soil instead. The nutrients will be taken down to the roots the next few times you water the plant. Give container roses a feeding every 2-3 weeks through the spring and summer with a foliar feed or granule feed. Check the top inch of soil for moisture several times a week, and if it feels dry, saturate the soil with water. Ensure good drainage by putting the container up on feet.  A layer of gravel at the bottom of the container can also help with drainage. If the rose outgrows the container it will need to be repotted into a larger one. Look for matted roots at the surface of the soil or roots growing out through the drainage holes. Consider hand-pulling the weeds, as this is the gentlest and safest way to remove weeds without damaging your rose bush. You can also put mulch down around your plant to help stop weed growth.  Try to avoid hoeing weeds around your roses, as rose roots tend to be close to the soil surface and can be damaged by the hoe. Avoid chemical weed killers as well, since these can also harm your rose bush.

SUMMARY:
Apply foliar feed to the leaves. Feed and water a container rose bush more regularly. Pull weeds that grow up around your rose bush.
