Yes, prolonged drought conditions can stress roses, making them more susceptible to certain problems. While some fungal diseases thrive in humidity, stressed plants are generally weaker and less able to fight off any opportunistic pathogens or pest infestations (e.g., spider mites thrive in dry conditions). Drought stress can also lead to symptoms like leaf scorch, wilting, and overall decline. Consistent deep watering during dry spells is crucial for robust rose health.
