Pour roses right - so go ahead
Roses are very difficult to cope with dryness, they prefer a continuously slightly moist - but not wet! - Ground. Especially younger and freshly planted roses should be regularly supplied with water. Make sure, however, that no waterlogging develops - like so many plants like roses do not too wet feet, also these lead to a root rot.
When and with which one should water roses
Every gardener should be aware that you should water thirsty plants on hot summer days. On the other hand, not everyone knows that roses can dry out quickly on cooler but very windy autumn days. In fact, not only the sun, but also the wind, removes a lot of moisture from the ground. Finally, you will make up for it by giving your roses a decent watering can full of water. If possible, use a jug with a pouring attachment, as this distributes the water more evenly and also reduces the water pressure. Also, for the same reason, do not water with a water hose, as this will unnecessarily wash away soil from the rootstock. The right time for casting you recognize by finger fingerprint on the ground. On the other hand, if the plant already leaves its leaves, it will be the highest railroad!
Best to water roses in the morning
However, it is not only important to water roses - the right time is also relevant. It is best to water the plants in the early morning (or in the late evening), otherwise evaporation will lose too much of the precious water. In addition, you should also be careful not to wet leaves and flowers, because this often leads to fungal infections such as blackspot or rose rust. For the same reason, roses should also be in a rather airy location so that rainwater can dry off faster.
Pour the container roses properly
Basically, roses cultivated in pots often need more water and more water than planted specimens, after all, they can not take care of themselves. The right time can be recognized by the finger test: Once the substrate has dried on the surface, it is time for the next watering. However, make sure you have a good drainage in the pot, so that no waterlogging can form. Roses should never be in the water, so it is best to remove excess irrigation water immediately.
Tips
Overhydration not only leads to waterlogging and thus root rot, but also flushes valuable nutrients from the soil. If your otherwise well-fertilized rose suddenly gets yellow leaves, it lacks certain trace elements, but especially iron.
