Hi Frank, Any time you change the climate that an African violet is in there is a possibility that the plant will show a slight change. Looking at the plant from the picture I would say that the reaching up is not enough to indicate that the plant is not getting enough light and therefore reaching towards the light. It's just possible that the plant is a little more upright because of the increase in humidity. Larry

That is a fair few number of rosebushes. The best advice is local advice, you might consider going to a local rose society meeting and asking a rosarian there, what is the best thing to do. If they were my roses I would, Look at the drainage holes, if there are more than 1 or 2 short individual roots, coming out of them, I'd plant that rosebush now, in amended soil. Then I would put the roses in two groups, cane hardy and tender, and for the hardy ones I'd submerge the pots in the ground up to the pots' lip, mulch well in Autumn, and prune as usual in your climate zone to avoid the canes from dying. In the spring, pop the pots out of the ground and plant the rosebushes in their permanent location. The advantage to this is that the roots might stay warmer submerged in the ground, with the plant mulched than in an unheated garage. I'd move the Tea and Noisettes which are tender to the garage, the week they're pruned back and mulch as usual, mulch is important as it insulates, and put the pots so they touch each other,which will keep them warmer, and wrap the sides of entire perimeter with something to insulate it, I'd use cardboard , because it provides warmth, and not plastic wrapping which might promote fungal growth, being careful not to let the cardboard rise over the lip of the pot, so that air may continue to circulate, and , obviously, wrapping the cardboard a few days after the pots were watered. I'd use twine to wrap the cardboard, and be sure neither gets wet, in the winter as they will mold. Good luck, Luxrosa Luxrosa

It is defiantly not a starling. I have two different ideas of what kind of bird it is. 1- it could be a baby cuckoo bird (úÃÂúÃÂÃÂúð) who got to big to fit trough the hole. On the other hand if the hole is to small for fledgling, it should also be to small for a female cuckoo bird to drop an egg in there. 2 - by the looks of it's head,it could be some kind of swift (ÃÂÃÂÃÂøö). I don't think a starling would raise/feed a swift, it's probably just roosting there. I would open the birdhouse anyway to see if the bird is OK and can fly out.
