Bush Rose Viridiflora - 20cm Pot

Rosa ‘Viridiflora’, commonly known as the Green Rose, is an unusual heritage rose grown for its curious flower-like clusters of green leafy structures rather than traditional petals. Emerging fresh green, they gradually develop subtle copper and bronze tones as they mature.

Believed to be a sport of the old China Rose ‘Old Blush’, ‘Viridiflora’ is a genuine garden curiosity and an interesting choice for rose collectors or anyone looking for something distinctly different. Its unusual stems are also valued by floral designers, where their texture and green colouring can add interest to arrangements.

Rather than being grown for a showy floral display, ‘Viridiflora’ is best appreciated up close for its botanical character, history and unusual form.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil.
Water deeply while establishing and during extended dry periods.
Feed established roses in late August and again after the main flowering flushes.
