Do roses need to be watered every day? Can I use tap water?

1. Do you need to water it every day?

It has a certain degree of drought tolerance and its root system is relatively shallow, so it does not require daily watering during management. Even in the dry, hot summer, it is not necessary. In summer, it is generally sufficient to water the plants every other day. If you water the plant too frequently, it will not be able to absorb the water. Over time, water will accumulate, hindering the normal breathing of the roots and causing root rot, leading to various growth problems.

2. Frequency of watering

The specific frequency of watering it should be determined according to the seasonal climate. If it is in spring, the water demand is higher during the growing season, and watering should be done every three to five days. In the hot summer, water the plants 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 is required every three to five days. In late autumn, the temperature will gradually drop and the flowers will basically wither. At this time, the amount of water required will decrease, and the frequency of watering should be reduced to once a week or so. It will stop growing in winter, so water should be controlled. If the soil is not dry, don't water it yet. Keeping it slightly dry is actually beneficial for the winter.

3. Can tap water be used for watering?

You can use tap water to water it, but it is recommended to dry it in the sun for a while before use, otherwise it contains too much chlorine, which will hinder its growth in the long run. Just place the tap water in a ventilated and well-lit place for a day or two. The chlorine will evaporate and the water temperature will be very suitable, closer to the soil temperature. The plants can absorb it better and faster, which is also beneficial to their growth.
