First of all you should know that when you set up your watering schedule that early morning watering is best. We realize that not everyone's schedule will allow for a regular early morning watering schedule. Standing water on the leaves will make your plants susceptible not only to mildew, but insects, pests, and multitude of fungal diseases

All flowering plants require a good deal of water and roses, being a flowering plant are no exception to this rule. They need as much as 2 inches of water each week. You should also use a rain gauge to see how much water is reaching the soil naturally, and plan your own watering schedule accordingly. The easiest way to check if your plant is receiving enough water involves simple observation. If the leaves limp or sagging your roses probably need more water, if the leaves yellowed, and starting to fall off this could be a sign that you're over watering, and the plant is in need of oxygen.

Although water is vitally important to your roses you need to know that they do not tolerate standing in puddles of water, they have need of drainage, so it is critical that you don't leave your plants in standing water.
