How often should tea rose be watered?

Tea rose favors moist but not water-logged conditions, so it's important to keep the soil well-drained whether it's planted in the ground or potted. When growing outdoors, it can be watered when the soil surface is slightly dry (except for in winter) with no fixed watering frequency. Keep the soil moist, as drought will reduce the number of flowers.
In drought, the plant needs to be watered every 2-3 days. Pay attention to drainage and avoid water-logging during the rainy season. Winter is its dormant period, so it's okay to stop watering then. The plant is not tolerant of water-logging; its roots easily rot. Avoid water accumulation when watering, and also avoid splashing water onto the leaves to prevent disease.
Potted tea rose can be watered every 2 days during the growing season except for winter. Only water the plant when the soil surface is slightly dry. In high-temperature seasons, the evaporation of water increases, and the plant is in a weak and semi-dormant period. To prevent it from drying out, water it twice a day in the morning and at night. Additionally, avoid too much exposure to sunlight.
It’s recommended to water potted plants until excess water seeps out from the bottom of the container. Remember to drain the standing water, or place a saucer with pebbles under the pot to allow excess water to flow out easily. During the dormancy period in winter, it should be watered less often. Only water often enough to prevent the soil from becoming extremely dry. Tea rose needs to be watered more from budding to flowering, and the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced after flowering.
