Roses are some of the most popular and widely cultivated flowers in the world. But to produce their best flowers, roses need to be watered correctly. In this article, we’ll find out when and how to water roses.
The best time to water roses is in the morning, which helps ensure the leaves have time to dry out during the day, reducing the risk of diseases like blackspot and powdery mildew.
Soaker hoses or drip Irrigation are often the best options for watering roses because they deliver water directly to the roots and help keep the foliage dry.
It’s important to check soil moisture before watering. Stick your finger into the soil, if the top 2 inches feel dry, it’s time to water. If it feels moist, wait a day or two.
