This rare rose plant has a very unusual green flower. The petals of the flower still retain the shape, colour and structure of leaves. It is not showy like other roses and the flowers are rather small and can be easily missed. We know that petals are modified leaves. This plant is a classical example and proof of it. It is the native of China and is recorded as the original form of wild rose from which the roses that we know today had been breed.
