Roses need the right type of soil, sun and water. The best time to water your roses is early morning. Watered in the evening causes water to stick onto the leaves. Left alone it will eventually cause black spots and mildew to form one leaves. It can possibly cause mold.

Roses should be watered twice a week. If the soil is such that it doesn’t soak in fast, or at all, it is better to water your roses more often. Sandy type soil will not hold water as well as soil that is more clay based.

Also if the roots are deep on your roses, the more water you should be applied. When it gets hot they’ll need more water. All these common sense issues can be ascertained by observing the leaves of your roses. That’s the first place the water goes. The larger the leaf the more water it needs. If you see the leaves getting dull or wilting your roses need more water.
