Moss Roses

Moss Roses

The moss roses (Portulaca Grandiflora), also commonly known as 10'o clock flower is an exceptionally hardy flower. It can survive even the worst of summers. Being a good flowering plant with numerous varieties, moss roses make for a good decorative plant. Requiring very less care and requiring the least water moss roses are extremely easy to plant and their feature of vegetative propagation, moss roses almost never die once you've put up a small stem. But these bloom only in the summer, being dormant all throughout the year.

I too have some moss roses, in three colours, a multiple shaded white-pink variety, a solid pink and another one, a solid white variety. Moss roses are extremely easy to carry over from one place. All you need is just a stem from your plant, and you can plant wherever you want.

Since my moss roses are blooming now, I captured some blooms last sunday.

Here are some shots.
