were your Roses bareroot or planted in a pot, when you bought them? If they are bareroot, they will need more water, than if they were potted. Watering depends alot on your climate, how much rain you get and how warm it is. Overall, roses take a lot of water, it is hard to overwater them, unless you have alot of clay in your soil. Do water in the morning, as already suggested, so the leaves will dry. You might guess by my user name, that I love growing roses, I also worked for years at a landscape nursery, and was know as the "roselady". If I can help some more, feel free to ask.

This is what I have always heard. But it was water daily for a week then twice a week until established. What it does is to get the plant used to a new home and keep plant moist for the first week to help it thru shock of planting. Then twice a week till established so you don't drown it and start root rot.

I suggest you contact the company for clarification or a good nursery for good instructions.

They didn't seem to be! The directions are very sparse...LOL The packaging says it's a Hybrid tea called "Oklahoma" (the state flower for Oklahoma!). It was packaged in Tyler, Texas.
