Indeed have you ever been to a party where people who stood too close to
eachother for a long period began to look alike and were in fact becoming
genetically similar?

Me either.

By synchronicity I mean that which causes a like response in others. Have
you never been to a boring party when one person yawning sets off the
others?
Or when two people or more are talking, some of their number will adopt
mirroring mannerisms. Or a particular post with a certain style will be
unconsciously be copied by other posters?

The rose bushes are social and this is an
example of synchronicity.

What on earth are you talking about? Synchronicity simply means that all
the
plants of a certain species in one area bloom at the same time. What you
described simply means that you have two rose bushes which are
genetically
identical.
