Hi Rez,

For many plants, especially trees (and roses really are a sort of
small tree) that's true. Sometimes we fuss over them TOO much and
perhaps get things out of balance, when leaving well enough alone
would be better.

I do believe helping a short term to give it time to develop the
*skill?* to survive are OK, but not long term protection from me. If
it does not cope with the environment for a given period, it's it
choice to go, so let it go. I better spend my time on something else.

Regards,
Wong
