Roses love water and need at least 1-2 inches a week. You need to water rose bushes at least 2 to 4 times a week for about 30 minutes at a time. You never want to water the leaves of the bush, instead you will want to water the base of the plant.

Houseplants that require normal watering should be watered so that soil is completely saturated and excess water runs out the bottom of the pot. Never water just a little bit; this allows mineral salts to build up in the soil. The key to normal watering is to allow the top inch or two of potting soil to dry out between waterings. Check frequently as certain times of the year may dictate that you water more frequently. Also, some plants that require normal watering during the growing season, may require less during the winter months when they are dormant.
