The roses will thrive in during morning sunlight, which prevents moisture from building on the leaves and causing mildew or other types of disease. The flowers should get at least six hours of sun each day. Clear the area around the garden if that will allow more sunlight in.

3. The flowers should not be watered heavily but they should be watered frequently. Over watering the roses will cause the root to rot and promote mold. Sprinkle them lightly once a day. Never use high water pressure on them.

4. Mulch should also be laid over the top of the soil to prevent weeds. The layer of mulch should be thick.

5. Prune the roses so the dead or diseased blossoms are removed. Think shoots on the roses should be trimmed. Trimming and pruning will help the roses bloom and avoid disease.
