My rose garden in spring in full bloom and foliage.<\/p><\/div>\nI got an email the other day from someone who was concerned because her roses were losing leaves in the midst of summer. They were new to roses and understandably concerned by this. It was hot where they were and they\u2019ve had little rains. She\u2019d read my post about watering less to force roots deep and was trying to follow that.<\/p>\nI would imagine with this heat wave sweeping its way across the country others are seeing leaf drop on their roses. And likely are also concerned and wondering if they should water more.<\/p>\nFirst let me say this to hopefully ease your minds. Summer leaf drop on roses is perfectly normal. Happens all the time. It\u2019s just that with the temperatures we are getting it\u2019s more pronounced this year.<\/p>\n $\"\"$
