Rosebush

Appearance
A short stem growing out of a square-shaped terracotta pot bears branches from which are growing two large and three small red roses, accompanied by green leaves.

Function
Placing a Rosebush increases hospital attractiveness in a small radius surrounding it.

The Rosebush's maintenance gauge will fall over time. When the gauge falls to 50%, the Rosebush will visibly wilt, and its attractiveness effect will almost disappear. If it is allowed to fall to 25%, the Rosebush will further wilt and the attractiveness effect will be gone. Below 10%, a negative attractiveness effect will be generated instead.

When placed in close proximity to a heat source, such as a radiator, a Rosebush's maintenance gauge will fall more quickly.

Maintenance
Janitors are tasked with watering Rosebushes, although also capable of doing so are other staff members with the Green Fingers trait. When the maintenance gauge reaches 50%, a janitor will be called automatically. Before this, the player may call a janitor to the Rosebush manually by pressing the appropriate button.

Room
The Rosebush can be placed in every room except Surgery, for reasons of sterility.

Staff
The following Staff is required to water the Rosebush:

Alternatively, any staff member with the Green Fingers trait will water plants in the room where they are working.

Trivia

 * Price during development was -$500.

Please note; the above list is presented in descending order of attractiveness (see the image to the right, where all five are presented in the same order). The larger the attractiveness effect, the more frequently the plant will require watering. Plants that do not require watering:
