Sprinkler system hose for roots only
My annuals and all knockout/tea roses are blooming in bunches, but my sprinkler system puts water on all flowers. Should I change the sprinkler system?

Yes, change the sprinkler system by adding a soaker hose that waters the roots only. Roses hate to have wet foliage especially at night as this encourages disease. So happy your roses are looking so good. The Knock Out is an amazing rose plant. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
