It is True. There is a Green Rose

The tendency for any gardener is to have something in their garden that others do not have. Some bend backwards and try to grow that which needs simulated conditions.  Tulips for example do not grow in India but attempts are made to introduce them by using simulated methods. Yet,  among flowers that easily grow here there are a few varieties that could be classified as exotic and green rose is one of them.

There are several types of roses among them is the green rose. In all respects the plant resembles a rose plant with the exception that the flower has no smell. It has petals that stand out and do not mix with the shape of the leaves around so that it can be identified immediately,. A green rose has the same formation as  other roses with dense petals.

The only reason why it is cultivated in any garden is because it is rare. Its cultivating method is the same as any rose plant and needs as much attention as any rose plant.

Green rose is easy to grow as it can be propagated by cuttings. No grafting or budding is necessary.

One hardly sees green roses in flower shops. They are fine to be in gardens just to be one among rare flowers.

One needs a discerning eye to spot a green rose as it camoflages with the greenery around. Adding it in a garden is just a craze. I did that too.

You guessed it right. I have lost it now but no nursery has it  and I wonder whether it is slowly disappearing as is the case with may other flowers.

I have not given up I shall be vigilant and if I see it again I shall use my ‘Beg, borrow steal’ tactics if I cannot buy it. Since it can be propagated through cuttings anyone who has a plant could perhaps lend me a cutting.

    • This is my first time to see a green flower. I haven't seen such a plant in my country.
      It would be nice to have some seeds of this green plant.I can plant it in the garden.

    • I'm like Shavkat. Have never seen a green flower. Would not have known the flower in the photo is a flower if you had not said do. It looks like a flower. But I would have still thought it wasn't. (O.o) :)

      • But on a plant it does stand out and looks like a flower although if you look at it closely the petals resemble leaves.

    • I have heart about green rose when I was a student of the University our university tripped went to swat mountain I remembered I saw there green roses of different colors looked very beautiful and it petals were soft and delicate but its was not like red rose.

      Now after this i say after a long long time now I heard about the green roses and see now in the pic mentioned by my Lb fellow. I thanks for my LB fellow who reminds of of my university days that were full pleasure and free like birds fly in the air.

      But on reaching maturity woe and grief have bowed down my lumber and life full of sorrows, heart sad, but hopes cling like grapes on my soul twigs.

      • You need to celebrate your maturity. Problems could be converted to challenges and challenges bring life to life.
        And by the way how could you have seen a green rose in other colours in your student days is what I want to know :grin:

    • when I was in my native place which is remote from the city I was not aware of the yellow roses. This was only for hearing. Later I came to know of different varieties and this made me surprise.

      No doubt a Tulip is not grown in India. But it is available in India due to a lot of development in the transportation system.

      There are shops even with that name . They prepare all Boutique using these flowers.

      The Green rose does not have buds or petals. But it is only the leaves that can be found as a bunch. This is the uniqueness of this flower.

      • The green rose does have buds just like any other rose. The petals look like leaves but well formed.

        When you say transportation system do you mean we import tulips. I was talking of growing them here under simulated conditions at great expense.
