While testing, we found it easy to pour and aim the water.
Its featherweight at less than 5 ounces, which makes it maneuverable even when full of water.
An especially cool feature is the removable roseit comes off so you could switch between sprinkling and free-flow pouring.

What Is a Rose on a Watering Can?
A watering can rose is the sprinkler attachment at the end, which delivers water gently to your plants.

Its so easy to carry, and no water poured out despite the open design.
It dented and lost some paint, but this didn’t affect usability.
Material:Stainless steel (body), wood (handle)|Capacity:18 oz.
This watering can is functional, stylish, and performed great in our testing, to boot.
It had a great pour for plants at every height and was easy to fill and carry.
The shiny exterior probably won’t last without proper maintenance, but thats what we love about it.
The patina that copper products develop with time is beautiful, in our opinion.
With a high price tag, you could get other aesthetically pleasing watering cans for less.
But we love the functionality it provides on top of being a gorgeous piece of decor.
It would alsobe a wonderful giftfor someone with a growing houseplant collection.
Material: Copper |Capacity: 65 oz.
The double-handle design is comfortable for carrying and lifting to reach hanging flower baskets.
This watering can also passed our drop test, except when dropped on concrete while full of water.
It suffered a large dent in the corner, though it didn’t leak.
Material: Plastic |Capacity: 1.5 gal.
|Color: Green |Weight: 1.5 lbs.
We spent a day evaluating the watering cans to see how they performed in a variety of controls.
We also noted if the water spilled or sloshed around the can.

Durability: We also noted if the watering can was easy to maneuver, given its size.
Generally, the longer and bulkier the spout, the poorer the balance.
But if the spout is fairly thin, it will probably be sturdier.

We also appreciated theXXXFlower Watering Can(our best large option) for its stability.
Most rose watering cans are for outdoor use, and the rose can be fixed or removable.
How Easy It Is to Refill
A watering can should be convenient to fill.
Usually, swishing around water and rinsing regularly keeps a watering can clean.
Pour out the liquid, scrub the watering can with a brush, and rinse it.
Use the same method to clean the rose attachment.
If it is heavily clogged, let the watering soak overnight in vinegar before removing any loosened deposits.
