To keep your rose bushes healthy and blooming beautifully, the best time to water them is early in the morning, ideally between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
This timing allows the foliage and soil surface to dry out during the day, which significantly reduces the risk of root rot and leaf fungus like black spot and powdery mildew.
Watering in the evening or at night leaves moisture sitting on the leaves and around the roots overnight, creating an ideal environment for fungal diseases.
Morning watering also ensures your roses stay hydrated during the hottest parts of the day without becoming waterlogged.
Bonus Tip: Always water at the base of the plant, not from overhead, to keep the leaves as dry as possible.
Watering roses in the early morning helps prevent common fungal issues and promotes overall plant health.
Avoid evening watering, as lingering moisture encourages disease.
Consistent, base-level watering is key to vibrant, thriving roses.
