Too much rain fall in this summer we have in Japan. Moderate rain is essential to plants, but it depends on its duration and volume....

Sometimes I use umbrellas to cover plants against rain. Peonies and some kinds of roses are particularly susceptible to rain. Rain bends flower peduncles and hurts flower petals.
We have a bangasa (a Japanese traditional coarse oilpaper umbrella) and plastic umbrellas for our garden. Handles of umbrellas are tied to or inserted into the posts.
