Shrubs

How often to water new shrubs/plants in 90 degree heat?
I have a new Rhododendron and a new Hydrangea which were wilted when I got home today. Today was about 90 degrees. I watered them well, and they perked back up after an hour. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. Should I soak them in the morning again? Is it ok to wait until shrubs/plants begin to sag/wilt before watering them?
Water them early in the morning before the sun comes out. Then water them again in the evening after the sun goes down. Don’t drown the plants at either watering. Just give them a nice gentle drink of water. Never water them in the middle of the day when it’s so hot, as the sun will evaporate the water, thus drying out the plants. Don’t wait for the plants/shrubs wilt, rather keep the soil moist at all times.
