During heatwaves, roses can suffer from overheating, leading to wilted leaves and scorched petals. Experts recommend watering plants early in the morning to allow roots to absorb moisture before temperatures rise, reducing the risk of water stagnation and disease.

Additionally, using organic mulch such as wood chips or compost improves soil structure over time.
