Some will tolerate less than ideal conditions, for example, Rosa rugosa and wild roses are usually happy in poor, dry soil and a little shade.How much water? Newly planted roses should be watered every 3-4 days, while established roses can be watered once a week. However, increase the watering frequency if your roses show signs of stress, like wilting.If you would like to fertilize your roses late in the season (August to September) Repeat bloomers flower beautifully in September and October in the New York area – use a foliar spray such as Monty’s Joy Juice™ or Neptune’s Harvest™.
