Default 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?
