Eleven Roses - why not a dozen?

Show must go on! Week 13th was with bouts of rain and cloudy sky. Plant 1 recovered five cm of height after I topped her. Plant 2 is growing normally. Moving plant 1 to larger 100-liters pot. I have not tilled the soil for one full year. And its time to dig out and put in coconut husk to aerate this soil. I did not throw the branches that I cut off away. I put each of the branch in bottles with tap water. And there was no fertilizer nor hormone. Also, there is no need for humidity chamber. The entire city is humid. I should top her one more time next week. She is a bit too tall too early. I am planning to veg for a month longer to avoid rain. I am in the tropic my plants won’t freeze. Scoring stem on plant 1. And I ordered my IBA. Next week, I shall try to root the tops to keep this easy growing phenotype.
