Rosa chinensis 'Viridiflora' plant details

Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very unique rose with GREEN roses! Technically not true flowers but actually overlapping petal-less sepals often with a bronze blush on a 3-4’ bush. Amaze your friends! Typical rose culture, decent soil, feeding, maybe a bit of protection from hot afternoon sun.
