It is possible to add super absorbant gels to flower garden soil. Also, I have used these when transplanting trees and bushes. I am wondering if it would help roses to use such a product as a soil additive. One website, http://www.horticulturalalliance.com/ offers much helpful information, but nothing about roses specifically.

I never have but you could try it.
They're pretty expensive to use in large amounts.

3-4 inches of mulch will conserve a lot of water.
