Rosa Glauca Var. Doleritica

Dolerite rose, scientifically known as Rosa glauca var. doleritica, is a rare and striking plant native to the high-altitude regions of South America. This variety of the glaucous rose is distinguished by its dark purple stems and pale pink flowers that bloom in early spring. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in mountainous areas with well-drained soil. Due to its limited distribution and unique appearance, it is highly sought after by botanists and horticulturists. Its cultivation remains challenging, making it a prized specimen in specialized gardens.
