How to judge whether the rose needs watering?

Roses are very hardy and can tolerate cold and drought. They do not have high requirements for climate and soil. Watering roses is a problem. There is no strict rule on how many days to water roses, but some external conditions still need to be considered. There are also some points to pay attention to when watering roses.

Rose watering time

1. Observe the soil

Whether the rose needs watering can be judged by the dryness and wetness of the soil, because watering the rose needs to follow the principle of "don't water unless it's dry, and water thoroughly when you do." Generally, if you observe that the soil turns white, and insert a stick into the soil and then take it out to look, if the surface of the stick is dry, then it means that the rose needs watering.

2. Observe the branches and leaves

Whether the rose needs watering can also be judged by its branches and leaves. When the rose is short of water, its branches and leaves will wilt. At this time, the rose needs to be watered. Otherwise, if the rose is short of water for a long time, it will cause the rose to turn yellow and dry, and in severe cases, the rose will die.

Generally speaking, roses should be watered about once every 5-7 days. In spring, summer and autumn, they should be watered before 10 am, and in winter they should be watered around 1-2 pm to prevent the roots from freezing.

Rose watering method

When watering roses, you should water them slowly along the edge of the pot. When you observe water seeping out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, you need to stop watering. When watering, be careful to avoid splashing water on its leaves. The temperature is high in summer, so you need to water the roses more. In winter, water evaporates slowly and the roses are in a dormant period, so they need less watering.
