Roses are a decorative plant that have are relatively beautiful, and need to be replanted occasionally. They can be grown indoors, simply using the light from a torch or standing lamp.

Acquisition

Roses can be sown by Growers in plant pots or in Growing zone. Sowing requires 750 ticks (12.5 secs) of work.

Analysis

Roses are a quick and cheap way to increase a room's beauty, and therefore, impressiveness. A plant pot is unnecessary; simply keeping a section, or even all, of the floor as dirt saves on having to build a pot in the first place.

In essence, they are a way to turn work time into positive moodlets, before you can build sculptures for a more permanent mood increase. Roses take less work to maintain than daylilies. However, daylilies have a higher beauty, and give more beauty per time spent sowing. Roses would be better if you have to plant flowers in multiple separate areas; since daylilies need to be replaced more often, they would increase travel time between each area.

Planting flowers can have a large impact and significantly improve room impressiveness. Planting in a dual-use dining and rec room can provide larger mood bonuses from both room roles, in addition to mood from a full beauty need.

Later on, you will want to switch to sculptures, as they don't require constant maintenance, can be placed on regular floor, and are significantly better at filling the beauty need. Sculptures increase wealth but this amount is trivial outside of 500% difficulties - see Wealth for a more detailed analysis. Sculptures also unlock the "Viewing Art" solitary recreation activity, however the effect of this is usually minor.
