Greenovia succulent is evocative of roses, with similar layered petals and curved form. The rose-shaped succulent called Greenovia dodrentalis is an example of this form and is in the family Crassulaceae. These tiny, rare plants are hard to find, but if you do get a hold of one, make sure you know how to grow greenovia so your unique discovery will thrive. Greenovia are tiny little plants, only about 6 inches (15.2 cm.) tall at maturity. They are found in the eastern and western parts of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
If you plant your roses in the summer, make sure you water them well, especially if the weather is hot. You can also add 3 inches of mulch over the soil in order to prevent weeds from growing and also to help the roses to retain moisture as you keep watering them.
Pruning
If you want lush and healthy bushes, it is important to prune them from time to time. Most people prune them in early spring, right before they start to grow. When you prune the plant, keep in mind to leave an open center, so there is enough airflow throughout the plant. Additionally, you need to cut all the dead branches or small and weak ones.
Soil
You can use standard succulent and cacti soil mix for the Rose Succulent.

Additional
The Adenium aka Desert Rose is included in the list of plants considered dangerously toxic to humans, dogs, cats, and horses. The plant is known to contain potent toxins which if ingested in large amounts can turn out to be lethal. Unlike many other succulents, Rose Succulents don't turn pretty colors when they're exposed to lots of light. They're green through-and-through. However, in order to maintain that compact rosette that makes it look just like a rose, they'll need lots of light.
