Overhead Watering for Knock Out Roses: Why It's Acceptable and How to Do It Right

Roses love rain; overhead watering mimics nature. The key is timing: water early so leaves dry before sunset. This prevents fungal issues like black spot. Deep, infrequent watering (big gulp) is better than frequent light sips. Overhead watering also cleans dust off leaves, aiding photosynthesis.
