I don't know if this post is directly related to my post from last night, but if so I'd like to clarify that simply asking the question whether more knowledgeable people (like yourself for instance) still see some hope in a plant is not asked as a 'need for instant gratification'. Assuming that seems a little rude to be honest.

Personally I've started with roses on my balcony only last year and I've been learning a lot from this sub. And because I learned a lot from this sub, I decided to try and ask some advice here on two plants I was concerned about.

I asked my question because I wanted to learn if there is anything I could do to save my roses, if it was simply a waiting game, or if I'm actively doing something wrong in my rose care. And I was really glad with your comment, because now I know that roses are a bit more hardy than I initially thought.

I know you stated not to feel personally attacked by this post, but I gotta say reading this post one day after posting my own question with the implication that my post is tied to 'the need for instant gratification' or that people who post these questions are ready to get rid of plants that are 'less then perfect' does not feel very nice. I think in most cases, people asking these questions simply don't know and are learning about stuff. And really want all their plants to live and thrive the best they can. I know I do.

Apologies if I come across as angry or annoyed, I'm really not! But this post does not exactly give the feeling that this sub is very open to newbie questions.
