Miniature Rose 'Green Ice'

In Barnstable, MA on Cape Cod, this turned into a sprawling groundcover/shrub to 5' across, covered with white/palest green flowers to 1"...Read More across. Would make a good groundcover, or grow at the top of a retaining wall.

Disease-resistant foliage.

Ok, I love green flowers so that may be part of the attraction but I am obsessed with this plant. It's a changling. It blooms white/tan...Read More in the spring, changes to green blooms somewhere in summer and then in fall, the flower turns to the pink I show in one of the pictures. This year it bloomed all winter with a hot pink/white bloom. I call it my Christmas Rose because it blooms green and then this hot pink. And though we got down to around 20 for a couple of days, it still just kept blooming.

These are unbelievably prolific bloomers. Small (1"), but clustered. I got them in the spring and they have bloomed continually since (...Read Moreit's now January). Even in the dead of a Houston summer, when everything else was wilting, Green Ice was going strong. I love unusual colors, but the green is not very pronounced (in this climate, anyway).

Got this one as a "Grocery Store" rose that I thought would be pale pink. I am still trying to decide if I like the green color. I tend...Read More to be put off by plants that aren't the "right" color. I separated the four tiny plants from the grocery store pot and have four pots of this green rose. They are very healthy (big plus) and have beautiful deep green foliage. No scent (a minus). The fully opened blooms tend to be shaggy and flat, but they hang on for an extended time. I'll have to see if I still have room for these after another year. Was disappointed that they weren't pink. (They weren't labeled by the grower.)
