How often should dog rose be watered?
Dog rose favors moist but not waterlogged conditions, so keep its soil well-drained. When growing outdoors, it can be watered when the soil surface is slightly dry (except in winter) with no fixed watering frequency. Be sure to keep the soil moist, as drought will reduce the number of flowers.
In drought, the plant needs to be watered every 2–3 days. Pay attention to drainage and avoid waterlogging during the rainy season. Winter is its dormant period, so it's okay to stop watering then. The plant is not tolerant of waterlogging; its roots easily rot. Avoid water accumulation and splashing water on the leaves to prevent disease.
Potted dog rose can be watered every 2 days during the growing season. Only water the plant when the soil surface is slightly dry. In high-temperature seasons, the evaporation of water increases, and the plant is in a weak and semi-dormant period. To prevent it from drying out, water it twice a day: once in the morning and once at night. Additionally, avoid too much exposure to sunlight.
Water potted plants until excess water seeps out from the bottom of the container. Remember to drain the standing water or place a saucer with pebbles under the pot to allow excess water to flow out easily. During the dormant period in winter, it should be watered less often. Only water often enough to prevent the soil from becoming extremely dry. Dog rose needs to be watered more from budding to flowering, and the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced after flowering.
