i bought 3 pots of roses last week, not hybrid teas, but not, i think the sort that match minzhi's apotheosis of a rose either (apotheroses?). two lots have now perished, one from careless placement beside an open window, and one that started wilting almost immediately upon being sat on the sill, but i am holding out hope for the pot with pink flowers which is flourishing nicely and seems quite cheerful despite the diminishing hours of sunlight. it's unseasonably warm for october too, but i have no idea if that makes any difference to the species. to be honest, my horticultural experience on the whole is horribly limited -- i think i was responsible for a couple of small cacti when i was growing up -- and so maybe i'm just doing something completely and disastrously wrong, overwatering or underwatering or goodness knows what. i think i need a seymour-like plant that can say things like FEED ME or THE PH LEVEL OF MY SOIL IS TOO HIGH and send me scurrying off to rectify the situation post haste.
