When can I stop watering my flower beds?

It's getting cooler now in southern Ontario, nights are down in the low 50s, when do I stop watering? Does it get too cold, or will all the plants go dormant? tysm ;-)

When can I stop watering my flower beds?
I let my plants slow down this time of year by withholding fertilizer, especially nitrogen and watering less. After a hard freeze I let nature do her thing. Here in the Dakotas if we have an "open winter", one with no snow cover, I give plants a mid-winter drink to help prevent winter kill. RScott
