Just a really nice little yellow rose blooming in the back corner ...seemed to be trying its best to defeat the snow and gloom outside for me...

Oh almost forgot although its a miniture it has a really good scent too...

cool! I asked about the light, cos when ever I have tried to grow small potted roses inside, even in windowsills, they went downhill quickly lol

This one is sitting at the edge of the light from a 100 watt Metal halide .... It was a outdoor floodlight fixture but I bought it and removed the bulb and ballast to hang above the chids that needed a bit more light the bulb fits a regular size socket if you run the wires from the ballast to it ...creamic socket of course because of the heat ....but makes it possible to use a cheap reflector and hang it...

Metal Halides will do to grow anything I have found so far ....
