I'm not absolutely sure, but you may have a variety of thornless rose. How does it smell? It is a beautiful plant.

i believe you have a single Impatiens walleriana (sometimes called Busy Lizzie) and it can be grown indoors or planted outside in the warm months. It is usually considered an annual but can be carried over if moved inside during colder weather.

This looks like impatiens. It is a shade plant that can be grown indoors or out. They are one of my favorites as they are easy to grow. They do like the soil to be moist. I feed them with miracle grow or something similar once a month or so. If they get spindly you can cut them back some and they will thank you with abundant blooms again in not very long.

The cuttings you can also put in a glass of water and they will root out in a few days to give you a whole new set of plants. Good luck and Enjoy! :)
