Watering Rose Beds for Health and Beauty
The Dominion Department of Agriculture advises roses need surface soil moisture after rain or watering in summer to hold moisture in the soil. Thorough watering occasionally is better than light frequent watering. Syringing foliage daily helps prevent insects, as a cleansing measure rather than to add soil moisture. Spraying should occur late afternoon or early morning to avoid scorching leaves. Rose beds require rich soil with humus and annual well rotted yard manure in autumn or spring.
