How do I water house roses?

Community Answer

Make sure you only put water on the roots/soil and not on the leaves. A half-glass of water every other day should be enough.

Can I grow roses if I live in an apartment and don't have a greenhouse?

Community Answer

Yes, but you must have proper lighting, have good soil in the pot, and avoid over-watering that will rot the roots.
