Maybe I'll give some alfalfa powder in the spring. Everything but the marigolds/sunflowers are perennial so they don't get watered. These are all in the backyard, I do water some of the perennials in the front, especially the cedar bushes, because they are thirsty. I mostly choose plants for minimal maintenance.
Jewel weed is a weed, I try and control it but don't have too much luck, especially when the rose protects it. I didn't include photos of the rose specifically, but you can see it in the Joe Pye weed photos.
I will prune back the rose harshly this year (to 1/3) to promote bushing and will cut back the rose mallow to the woody base. Milkweed and Joe Pye weed will get cut back too, in the spring, when I see new growth. The dead bits help me see where that are!
Basically nothing, lol.
