In this segment, hosts Robert Siegel and Michele Norris discuss roses with expert Lisa Caprioglio, addressing common issues faced by rose gardeners. A listener from New Jersey reports persistent black spot problems and inquires about the impact of watering and surrounding garden conditions. Caprioglio confirms that watering practices significantly affect the health of roses, emphasizing the need for morning watering that allows leaves to dry or using drip irrigation to minimize water retention on leaves. This advice highlights the intricate connection between rose care and gardening techniques.
When watering roses, it's crucial to use a method that allows leaves to dry off quickly, either watering in the morning or using drip irrigation.
Roses are susceptible to black spots, which can be exacerbated by poor watering practices, other flower beds, or organic mulch used around them.
