Roses require high humidity. The roses will bring in some moisture through their leaves if the humidity is up there to steam room like levels.

The humidity level in the average home is often below 30 percent, yet most house plants, even desert dwellers such as cacti, prefer humidity levels of at least 40 percent. Many require 60 percent or more.

Relative humidity of 50 to 60 percent is probably ideal for both house plants and people.

Roses also shut down when it gets real hot. It’s a self defense mechanism they use to get through both hot and drier spells.
