I have had people tell me not to water my roses during the heat of the day.


When is the best time to water?


I do water during the day but I don’t get the water on the leaves. I water at the base of the bush.


Any suggestions?

Water on the leaves acts like a magnifying glass and the sun can burn the plant. The best time to water is after sunset, or pre-dawn.
Reply:They tell you this mainly due to the evaporation factor - during the heat of the mid-day, the water will be less useful since it will be gone quickly. Water after dark or early early in the morning and your water will be more effective.
Reply:Reason will confirm the following:





If you water ANY plant during the evening (as many do), the length of time the water remains on the plant, will gradually rot the leaves, buds, flowers etc.





If you water ANY plant 'during the heat of the day', the heat evaporates the water too quickly, and so the plant does not have the necessary time to benefit as it should.





You may find ANY plant benefits to its maximum capacity, if you water them early mornings. That way, the plant has sufficient time to nourish itself adequately, and the water does not remain on it unduly long to do any damage, because of the imminent 'heat of the day'.

Reply:Roots will do better when watered early or late in the day, when it's cool, and the ground is a bit cooler. This will also prevent water from evaporating quickly, as it does in the heat of mid-day. Better usage of water, all-around!





Also, if any water or mist gets on the leaves or petals, the sun will burn them.
Reply:It is part for the evaporation but it can burn the plant too. Either water in the cooler morning or in the cooler evening.
Reply:At night when it's cooler and the sun has gone down.


This way you will not burn the roses
Reply:You can water at the heat of the day but don't do that regularly. Set your sprinklers for early morning.
Reply:Always water in the early morning hours! the reason for this is there is less chance of fungus and the plants will soak up more water. This includes your lawns. Remember all plants do need some drying time as well. Over water can be harmful!
Reply:when you water during the middle of the day,the plant is not getting half the water that you water it with do to evaporation and other things of that sort.i usually water all of my plants in the evening just before the sun goes down,that way it has a chance in the cool of the evening to absorb as much as possible,and to better use its nutrients while absorbing the water!
Reply:Water the roses as the sun going down or after the sun has sat. Night time is the best time for watering outdoors plants. Other plants outside as well needs to be water in the evening time.
Reply:Water your plants after the sun has gone down. This will give the plants more time to absorb the water. Very few plants drink fast, so when watering plants, think slow. Have a wonderful time enjoying your roses.
Reply:Water early or late. If you do it during the heat of the day it is a waste of water (it evaporates) and you risk burning your roses. Roses like a LOT of water, so give it to them later so they can have all night to drink. Water the whole plant.
