Watering Roses: Ace Gardening Help

March 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Watering your roses can be a tricky thing. It is one of the most important aspects of taking care of roses. Roses need almost as much water to stay healthy as people do. Of course, there are quite a few points that must be taken into consideration before you water your roses. They are as follows:
* To help you minimize the risk of your roses getting diseases, mulch is a great way to keep the soil moist, without allowing all of the fungal problems that too much moisture can cause.
* Like people, roses need 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 need to be watered with fresh water because rain alone may not give the correct amount of moisture for your roses.
* You should not water the petals directly or the canes because it can cause fungal disease in your roses.
* You have to water your roses in a way that goes deep enough into the surrounding soil so that it reaches the roots. Try going about 16 inches deep.
* Watering your roses in the morning also helps to dry the dew off of the leaves.
* When your roses are fully established, you should water them once a week. You should do it twice a week if its in the hotter months.
