Help with over watered bushes

18 years ago

Hi all, I had a question on the best way to fix my watering problem. Basically Im growing my roses in large plastic pots and since I heard that potted roses need more water and because I live in Southern California ive been super paranoid about watering them. The problem is all the bottom leaves of my bushes are yellowing out and from what ive been researching it sounds like ive been watering them too much! So first off, how do I correct this? Do I just skip out on watering them for a while until the soil dries out? Im pretty sure that the pots are draining well, as water still pours out if i let the hose run in the pot. Im scared to just not water them, especially since its getting a lot warmer. Also, am I supposed to trim off all the yellow leaves (im assuming those are goners). Any tips on how to water these potted plants would be great, I really dont want them to die out but I was so shocked this morning to see so many yellow leaves? What should i do?

Thanks all!
