How much water does a rose plant need?

my mother bought a small yellow rose plant maybe the size of a football and waters it every day. it seems to be dying. how much water does it need?

I’m with Janice. It’s being over watered so the best thing she can do is stop watering it until it completely dries out. She shouldn’t feed it right now either. Just tell her to let the soil get completely dry and then resume watering maybe once a week at most. Easiest way to tell when a plant needs water is to insert a finger and if it feels only dry soil then you can water. It is always better to under water than over water. Most plants will let you know when they are really thirsty by drooping a little.

Also, These potted miniature roses are intended to be planted outside in the ground or a very large container like a half barrel size. They were never intended to live as indoor plants so, at some point, your mom might consider looking for a place to plant it this spring. Miniatures are only mini in the flowers and can grow to a height of 4 feet or more given the right conditions.
Good Luck
