Watering
 

After this comparitively recent dey spell, is it necessary to be watering my
bare root roses, planted last December and those ones planted from
containers just a few weeks ago? The soil is already beginning to look dry
on the surface anyway.

The answer is Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
but use a bucket and give them enough to go down to the bottom of the
planting hole you dug.
Depending on your soil then half to a whole bucket each week should be
OK for a few weeks.

After being sodden for weeks, mine's got cracks appearing this week.

Mine has.
I think this is when a quick hoe to create a dust mulch is needed.

Or time to start scrounging grass clippings off the neighbours.
