The Unique Beauty of Green Roses

A red rose or a white rose, even a yellow rose, is quite a bit ordinary these days. But a green rose?! That’s quite special in its rarity and one basking in verdant magnificence, which will surely capture anyone’s heart.

St. Patrick doesn’t only refer to a holiday in March or the name of a patron saint. Today, gardeners who hear the word “St. Patrick” may think of the species of rose that happens to be the greenest of them all. Green roses come in an array of shapes and shades. They are simply unique in a way that they are not the most common plants you will see lining the shelves of nurseries. In fact, most of the varieties of green roses are difficult to find that some can be purchased through some mail order companies. Nearly all of these roses have been hybridized by amateur and master gardeners alike, and come from distant parts of the globe.

Treat for A Leprechaun

The St. Patrick rose actually did not originate in Ireland at all, but in sunny southern California. The plant is surprisingly robust, and gives off many beautiful heads during the blooming season. The green buds of this “tea rose” will open to flaunt yellow flowers that become quite tinged with green over the course of a few days after blooming. This color will intensify on plants that are growing in shady areas, and offer beautiful, long stemmed green roses that you can get for your table. Wouldn’t it be an unusual centerpiece for a special dinner party or the perfect accent to your St. Patrick’s Day holiday décor?

Another green rose that did originate in Ireland is the species known as “Lime Sublime”. This rose is quite tolerant of heat, and will give its owner plenty of constant blooms in its distinctive shade. The flowers are a creamy white, blotched with plenty of green, and the bushes of this green rose become quite full of blooms even during the warmest part of the summer season. These roses are deficient on aroma, but abundant on beauty. They add an attractive and exceptional accent to many garden landscapes.

There is another species of green rose that has made an appearance in Maine, and this flower is known as the “Unique Green Rose”. This plant is distinguished for its large blooms of an apple-green hue. In a garden with this type of roses, you can spot plenty of them, with three to eight blooms per cluster. They appear to be quite substantial and resistant to some diseases such as black spot. While this rose is only found in Maine at present, and is not available for public purchase, the rising popularity of green roses may just bring this species on the market sooner or later.

Green roses are matchless—they bring a unique look to your garden landscape or anywhere else you place them. If you want to add a green rose to your outdoor collection, you can check the Internet for mail order companies that offer varieties of this extraordinarily stunning plant.
