Water: Roses 'Fragrant Delight' requires well-drained soil and prefers moist conditions, avoiding water-logging. Water when the surface is dry, every 2-3 days in drought, and reduce in winter. Ensure proper drainage for potted plants and water less frequently during dormancy, increasing during blooming.
