How often should I water the rose? Watering methods in spring, summer, autumn and winter

Introduction to Rose Watering

Roses are afraid of waterlogging, and there should not be stagnant water in the pot. Too much water will easily cause root rot. Generally, it is okay to water them before 8 am, because the temperature is not high and the sun is not strong at this time. After the consumption of photosynthesis, it is not easy to cause the potting soil to be too wet. Try to avoid watering at night to avoid causing diseases and pests.

When watering roses, you should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when it is dry". Keep watering until water seeps out from the bottom of the pot.

Rose watering time and frequency

Watering in spring: In spring, roses should still follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. If the roses are planted in the ground, water them once after they emerge from the ground. At other times, you don't need to water them. In droughts, water them once every 10 days. After April, the climate is warm, and it is also the peak flowering period. Be sure to water them more often to keep the soil moist and don't let the roots dry out.

Watering in summer: The climate is relatively hot in summer, and the evaporation of water in the potting soil is relatively large, so you must water more often. Generally, you should water it once in the evening. In the rainy season in summer, you must remember to drain the water. At the same time, when the temperature is high, you must also pay attention to spraying water on the leaves to prevent water evaporation, and spray more water on the ground to cool it down.

Watering in autumn: The temperature gradually turns cooler in autumn, and the amount of water evaporation is relatively small. Don't water too frequently at this time. Follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly. In late autumn, you must also control the amount of watering.

Watering in winter: The weather is cold in winter, so the rose should be watered once before November. After November, it only needs to be watered once every half a month. Too moist soil can easily damage the roots.

How to water roses

The interval between watering varies depending on climatic conditions, sunshine conditions, plant growth and soil properties. Specifically, it is to water thoroughly once to allow the water to penetrate into the roots, ensure the moisture of the soil while avoiding water accumulation. The next watering should wait until the water in the soil is completely absorbed and evaporated and the surface is dry.

How to deal with overwatering: If it is a ground-planted rose, the first step is to dig a ditch for drainage. If it is a potted rose, check whether the bottom is permeable. If it is not permeable, you can use a stick to clear it, or remove the water in the pot. At the same time, put the flower pot in a place that can be sheltered from rain, but it must be ventilated so that the water can evaporate quickly. Use a sprayer to spray water on the leaves so that the transpiration of the soil and the leaves can proceed at the same time, reducing the water loss of the plant and allowing the rose to quickly return to normal.
