Abstract: A hose reel stand having a reel and hub assembly which is rotatable about the vertical axis of the hose reel stand, allowing a hose supported on the reel to be easily dispensed from any direction. The hub is rotatably attached and supported on a post so as to be vertically adjustable. A flow control unit including a valve and flow timer are also attached to the post below the reel and hub assembly. The flow control unit allows complete control of the water flow to the hose so as to provide a complete watering station remote from a water source. The hose reel stand is designed to be permanently anchored to the ground.
