Bioshock Hints
Collect a rose specimen.
1 of 11: Go back the way you came to find several thuggish splicers outside.
2 of 11: If you wait just outside Prof. Langford's place, you should soon see a big daddy come and wake up a little sister. (Or if he's already done that, they'll be walking around nearby.)
3 of 11: Go back up the stairs to the Upper Rolling Hills area, then through the "Arcadia Glens" door.
4 of 11: Go forward (south) to the Gene Bank machine, then turn right to find one of the doors that leads to the Waterfall Grotto area.
5 of 11: Just past that door is another group of thuggish splicers. Take their picture, then use Enrage on them or lead them back to your hacked RPG turret.
6 of 11: Get the Security Evasion physical tonic from the ground near them, then grab the goods from next to the nearby U-Invent machine if you haven't already.
7 of 11: Find the stairs leading down in the NW corner of the area, then get ready to handle some heavy security.
8 of 11: After the security devices are all destroyed or working for you, look around for supplies, especially near your hacked turret and camera. (Don't miss the door near the camera that you have to zap the control of to open.)
9 of 11: When you're done with that, go down to the big water wheel and look for roses.
10 of 11: There's a large bunch of them growing up one side of the wheel.
11 of 11: All you have to do is move close to them and hit the Use key to take one and move on to the "Bring the rose specimen to Langford" goal.
