* Watering your roses in the morning also helps to dry the dew off of the leaves.
* You should not water the petals directly or the canes as it can cause fungal disease in your roses.
* To help you minimize the risk of your roses getting diseases, mulch is a nice way to keep the soil moist, without encouraging all of the fungal problems that too much moisture can bring.
* Like humans, roses require more water during the hotter weather than during the colder ones. Heat causes the soil dry faster and the roses get “thirstier”.
* Bear in mind that even during the rainier times, roses still require to be watered with fresh water as rain alone cannot provide the right amount of moisture for your roses.
