The Green Rose that will never wither-- Mountain Rose

Mountain rose is a general name for the succulent plants of the family crassulaceae and the genus Rosa, which has been classified into the genus Lotus. It has the characteristics of leaf expansion in growing period (winter and spring) and closing in dormant period (summer).

The fleshy leaves are arranged in a rosette. The plant sizes of different species vary greatly. Races are only 2 to 4 centimeters, and large ones can reach 30 to 40 centimeters or more. Leaf color varies according to species and growing environment, from gray-green, turquoise to green-green, and leaves may show reddish-brown markings after exposure. Some varieties have whitish powdery and tomentose, or leaf margin glandular hairs. The florescence is from late spring to early summer, with racemes and yellow flowers. As the seeds mature, the mother plant will gradually wither, but the lateral buds at the base of the reliable plant will continue to progeny.

Because of its dormant period to avoid strong light, heat and other adverse weather, the outer leaves aging and withering, while the central part of the leaves tightly wrapped together, the plant type is very similar to the budding roses, precisely because of this characteristic, it makes most plant lovers crazy.

Distributed in the rock crevices of the coniferous forest area on the northward slopes of the Canary Islands and the nearby islands of Grand Canary, Tenerife, Yero, Gomera and La Palma, the southern high island of Tenerife, the inaccessible area on the north slope of 950m above sea level, and the open area of coniferous forests on the north side of La Palma, Yero and Gomera Island.

Mountain roses grow in canyons, mountain rock crevices, and coniferous woodlands. The dormant period is from July to August. During dormancy, the outer leaves wither, the central leaves shrink in the shape of roses, and the summer ventilation, less water and 50% shading can maintain the state of "enchantment".

Mountain roses like cool, dry and sunny environment, resistant to drought and semi-shade, afraid of stagnant water and muggy humidity, and have the habit of dormant in high temperature season and growth in cool season. The growth period is from autumn to late spring, it is appropriate to give sufficient sunlight, such as lack of light will make the plant grow too long, resulting in loose plant type and thinner leaves.

The growing period is from mid-September to June of the following year. If you move indoors in winter, you can grow normally. Pay attention to regular ventilation. After entering the growing period, the original "enchanted" rose pattern will unfold rapidly within a few weeks, and the shape at this time is very similar to that of other lotus species, which may be the reason for merging with lotus palms.

Mountain roses refer to plants of the genus greenovia. In fact, the small genus greenovia no longer exists after 2003, because it was incorporated into the genus Aeonium by taxonomists in 2003. But for the sake of description, the following is called greenovia. Mountain rose series are so popular mostly because they look so sweet when they are dormant.

The so-called "everlasting green rose" is the charming series of mountain roses in Jingtian family. The flower language of roses is love and beauty, so does the everlasting green rose represent more lasting love and beauty?
