How Often Should I Water Mini Potted Roses

The roses should be kept consistently moist in the summer and when it is hot and dry you may need to water as much as once a day. In the winter you can cut back your watering to once a week. Miniature roses like a day time temperature of 65 to 75 degrees and a little cooler at night.

How much water does a mini rose plant need?

Adequate water keeps your mini rose plant growing well. A general guideline is ensuring that your mini roses get at least 1 inch of water every week between rain and your supplemental irrigation. In hot, dry conditions, the plants might need more. When the soil feels dry to the touch, water the plant.

Can you over water miniature roses?

Sustained temperatures below 50 F cause the plant to stop flowering. Water frequently enough so that the soil is moist, but not soggy. Overly wet soil, especially in container-grown miniature roses, can cause root rot or other fungi problems.
