just one brug which would it be and why?? i know you cant stop at one but i have a friend who wants one and her requirements are its gotta bloom alot and can take the heat if in the shade.
she lives in a small apt ans wants one for her small balocony space but i am no help as i dont know all of them yet and which is which.
i also forgot what fertilizer is best. i remeber the middle number has something to do with it though.
if grown in pot do you wait till its root bound to change pot??
i know all these have probably been answered but after my day(daughters glasses were stolen at school) i am not in the mood to hunt for them.
if you had to buy and a few questions
A a newbie, I've wanted to ask the same questions...so I'm glad you have!

I'd probably pick Butterfly or Pink Beauty. They bloom good and have beautiful blooms. I use Miracle Grow or Peters Professional.
Definitely Rosamond. Peters 20-20-20 and I'm adding Scott's (I think) 15-5-15 this year.
All are nice, but I like Butterfly because she will continue to bloom for me throughout the summer, not just flushes. I also like her fragrance a lot. Rosamond doesn't do well for me but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for someone else.
Root bound means a lot of watering because there is nothing in there to absorb moister and hold it. You can tell when they need potted when you have to water more than once a day. When they are big, you probably will have to water more than once a day, but it doesn't mean they are root bound, just thirsty.
Why would anyone steal glasses? They sure can't do anyone else any good. I hope they are found.
