Miracle Gro and other companies (Vigoro) sell products that are pH adjusted toward different types of shrubs. Espoma surely makes organic gardening alternatives as well. The labels will be very clear on which types of shrubs like which types of food.

I wouldn't rush feeding - feeding tends to help plants in the following blossoming season...my view - let the weather settle down before you hit the plants with lots of food.
