3. Can tap water be used for watering?

Rose flowers are drought-tolerant and are shallow-rooted plants, so you don’t need to water them every day. If you water too frequently, the plants will not be able to absorb all the water, and water will accumulate over a long period of time, hindering root breathing and causing root rot. The specific frequency should be determined according to the climate season. Generally once every three to five days in spring and autumn, once every other day in summer. In winter, water should be strictly controlled. If it is not dry, there is no need to water.

1. Does it need to be watered every day?

It has a certain drought tolerance and its root system is relatively shallow, so it does not need to be watered every day during the management period. It is not necessary even in dry and hot summer months. In summer, watering once every other day is usually sufficient. If you water too frequently, the plants will not be able to absorb it. This will cause water to accumulate over time, hindering the normal breathing of the root system and causing root rot, leading to various poor growth phenomena.

2. Watering frequency

The specific frequency of watering it should be determined according to the seasonal climate. If it is in spring, the growing season requires more water, so it should be watered every three to five days. When the temperature is high in summer, you need to water frequently, once every other day. Autumn can be divided into early autumn and late autumn. The environment in early autumn is still very suitable, and watering should be done every three to five days. In late autumn, the temperature will gradually drop and the flowers will basically wither. At this time, the water requirement will become smaller and need to be reduced once a week or so. It will stop growing in winter, so water needs to be controlled. If the soil is not dry, don't water it yet. A slightly drier soil will be beneficial to overwintering.

3. Can tap water be used for watering

You can use tap water to water it, but it is recommended to dry it for a period of time before use, otherwise it contains too much chlorine, which will hinder growth in the long run. Just put the tap water in a ventilated and sunny place to dry for a day or two, so that the chlorine will evaporate. In addition, the water temperature is also very suitable, closer to the soil temperature, and the plants can absorb it better and faster, which is also beneficial to growth.
