About The Green Rose Potted Rose Bush
Green Rose™ Potted Rose Bush
Rosa viridiflora | Own Root
A botanical curiosity — the rose that blooms in green.
First recorded in China over 200 years ago, the Green Rose (Rosa viridiflora) is unlike anything else in the garden. Instead of petals, its blooms are made of small green sepals — each one carrying a subtle peppery fragrance and an almost sculptural quality. This antique China rose has been cherished by collectors for generations, prized for its ability to spark conversation and add unexpected texture to floral designs.
Whether tucked into a cottage garden, featured in a cutting garden, or showcased in a container, the Green Rose offers a touch of the extraordinary year after year. It’s a must-have for true rose lovers and those who delight in the rare and unusual.
