Hi Rosemary,
We are way behind on rain here in Charlotte too, almost eight inches. We
received a little help from tropical storm Dennis, but not enough. I am
hoping the fall weather is wetter.
I stopped watering the beds as well. My late summer roses were puny
because of the lack of rain. I decided not to fertilize the rose beds
through the summer. Didn't want to stress them out. I have watered the
azaleas, rhodos and the mountain laurel, but still managed to lose one of
my laurels.
Don't work too hard.
