Introducing the mountain rose succulent, known as Aeonium dodrantale, which is a stunning and unique plant that captivates with its rosette form and striking appearance. It gets its name because of its stunning resemblance to a rose and its natural habitat in mountainous regions.  

This Aeonium succulent has several other common names, such as Greenovia dodrantalis, Mountain Aeonium, or Giant Velvet Rose, due to its large, velvety leaves arranged in a beautiful rosette shape.  


Native to the Canary Islands, specifically Tenerife, this mountain rose succulent thrives in the mild, Mediterranean-like climate of its natural habitat.

Because of its clustering habit during summer dormancy, this lime-green plant, which resembles a green rose, matures into a neat clump.

It can grow up to 4 inches wide as an individual plant and produce offsets on up to 5 inches of long stalks.

In a cluster form, it will grow even wider. The leaves are obovate-spatulate, apically rounded, and glaucous, becoming glabrous with age.

The flowers of the mountain rose succulent produce tall, upright flower spikes topped with clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers, adding a charming contrast to its dark foliage. It blooms during the spring.  

When and How to Water Your Mountain Rose Succulent

Like many succulents, the Stapelia gigantea plant stores water in its thick, fleshy stems, allowing it to endure long dry periods without stress. Because of this, it’s best to water deeply but sparingly, ensuring the soil dries out completely between waterings. The Stapelia gigantea prefers watering once every 2-3 weeks in the growing season, and once a month in the dormant season.

From spring through early fall, during its active growing season, water your Stapelia gigantea every 2–3 weeks or when the top few inches of soil feel completely dry. When watering, soak the soil thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then let it dry out fully before watering again. Avoid letting it sit in water, as the roots are sensitive to excess moisture.

In late fall and winter, during its dormant season, Stapelia gigantea slows its growth and needs much less moisture. Reduce watering to once a month or even less, depending on your indoor humidity and temperature. In cooler environments, it’s often best to keep the soil almost dry, providing just enough water to prevent the stems from shriveling. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Mountain Rose Succulent 

When growing indoors, the mountain rose succulent thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. Place your Aeonium dodrantale near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight without being exposed to direct sunlight. 

If you notice the plant stretching or leaning towards the light source, it may indicate that it needs more sunlight. Rotating the plant periodically can help ensure even light exposure on all sides, promoting balanced growth. 

When grown outdoors, Aeonium dodrantale prefers a location with partial shade, especially in regions with hot, intense sunlight. If you live in a climate with mild temperatures and moderate sunlight, you can place your mountain rose succulent in a spot where it receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day, supplemented by bright indirect light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The mountain rose favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Aeonium succulent to thrive. 

Like other succulents, opens in a new tab, Aeonium dodrantale does not require frequent feeding. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your mountain rose succulent with a balanced (5-10-5), diluted NPK fertilizer designed for succulents. It's best to fertilize sparingly, about once a year, to avoid overfeeding, which can lead to nutrient imbalances or burn the plant's roots.  

In contrast, during the dormant period in fall and winter, you can skip fertilization altogether, as the plant's growth slows down, and it requires fewer nutrients during this time. 

Hardiness Zones & More 


In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.

These rose succulents can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F but prefer warmer conditions.

In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from scorching sun exposure.

It is essential to ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during rainy periods. 

How to Grow Best Mountain Rose Succulent Indoors

When growing indoors, your Mountain rose succulent thrives in typical room temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It's important to avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts, as these can stress the plant. Additionally, Aeonium dodrantale prefers moderate humidity levels, so maintaining a humidity range of 40% to 60% can help prevent issues like leaf dehydration. 

Wildlife - Aeonium dodrantale Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Aeonium dodrantale plant is known to attract a variety of friendly pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to fertilize plants and promote biodiversity.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the Aeonium dodrantale is not considered toxic to humans or animals. It is easy to handle and requires minimal care, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor gardens alike.

How to Propagate Your Aeonium dodrantale

The Aeonium dodrantale can be propagated through stem cuttings or offsets. Stem cuttings can be taken from healthy, mature stems and allowed to callus before planting in well-draining soil. Offsets, also known as pups, can be carefully separated from the mother plant and replanted to establish new plants. 

Key Takeaways

  1. The tightly packed, petal-shaped leaves of Mountain Rose Succulent form a perfect green rosette that looks strikingly like a blooming rose — earning it the nickname “living rose.”
  2. During its dormant summer phase, the rosette closes tightly like a rosebud to conserve moisture, then reopens beautifully in cooler months.
  3. Once mature, it produces tall flower stalks with clusters of small yellow blooms — a stunning display that marks the end of the rosette’s life cycle but often leaves behind new offsets to continue growing.
  4. Though drought-tolerant, it prefers gentle, infrequent watering and can be sensitive to overwatering — a delicate balance that keeps it healthy and compact.

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Mountain Rose succulent (Aeonium dodrantale), is a striking plant native to the Canary Islands, boasting velvety rosettes of broad leaves and clusters of yellow flowers atop tall spikes. To care for this beauty, provide well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and moderate watering. With its unique appearance and relatively easy maintenance, Aeonium dodrantale is sure to add elegance and charm to any garden or indoor space.

Candid Honesty from a great American Historian
Format: Hardcover
Reading Puritans to Yankees, a Bancroft Prize history, I moved to this tome. Professor(full) Bushman is a great American historian. This book follows tradition. One look at Prof. Bushman's on-line student sylabuses or awards at Columbia illustrates his leadership ofhistory students. Years I've spent trying to better understand ancient Pauls revelations; in particular the one with Christ on the road. How can one get closer to Christ without understanding revelation? At the third read of Rough Stone, and lots of redlines, I think this book is about revelation. Also what a rare thing revelation has been; heaven is open modernly for revelation. I wish I could understand the Bible without a guide to communicaton form God. Rough Stone has opened a new understanding of revelation. Maybe the most important thing is that God is all powerful and supreem, and will talk to us when He wants and we are able to understand. Bushman's honest facts include the unknown. Cited notes and end references indicate ratio of 20 to 1, focusing on issues not defense. His knowledge quest is aparent, like an intelligent friend who relates and lays out the reasons for his analysis. The evidence historians rely on, shows that Smith himself spoke and acted consistently with God. All true history I have read has good and bad - same here - the voice is one of personal knowledge. Whether or not you accept Bushman's conclusions on various issues, it is clear that Bushman himself has come historically to his conclusions. Very powerfull statement for an eminent historian. Dissecting a paragraph on prayer, washings and annointings leading up to the 1836 Kirtland Temple dedication is illustrative. After a summary, each person involved is organized into groups (priests, bishops presidents etc.). Concise background connects mental states. Bushman conveys the visions and revelations. Each hammered paragraph a razor sharp sword of truth, accompanied by the Spirit of Christ. May I someday write like this. This book does not attempt reader placement in contextual cultural affinity. The 1840's Latter-day Saints were persecuted, we are not. The Holocost Jews, read pogrom, are culturally atuned, and able to sympathize, we are not. Conveying instructions on getting revelation to unsympathetic readers like us was a challenge beyond comprehenson; study brings some understanding. Bushman has become sympathetic. His out-of-book descriptions of Lincoln defending on the Illinois circuit court clearly depict Bushmans cultural affinity. After three reads, I am becomming sympathetic. My wife calls me a bit crazy with the the 10 mile walks to Church, and baking bread from hand ground wheat, and almost loosing my job from sticking up for "no discussions of dating activities by the student interns at work". A good book should motivate action - maybe I should be less motivated (so she says). The highest recommendation, this is what I would give this book. I A guide to me, it sits with Bushmans other books and essays. I seem better able to understand conference talks. I listened to N. Eldon Tanners talk on Christ from the 147th conference (1982). He went over the first vision. But it became clear Tanner was talking from personal revelation, relating the 1832 description of Joseph Smith. Characteristics of revelation I learned reading Bushmans book jumped out at me during Tanners' talk.

"Clearly the definitive biogrophy for generations to come."
Format: Hardcover
I have read many books about Joseph Smith the prophet, but none have been so informative and balanced as this one. Some of what makes this so brilliant is the autor's choice to include as much information as possible - regardless of it's implications. Richard L. Bushman does not shy away from the controversial, presenting Joseph as somebody who I can finally relate to as a human being, rather than some kind of perfect "way up there" godlike being that Primary and Sunday School (intentionally or not) portray him. It was a relief for me to read of Joseph's mistakes in addition to his many amazing accomoplishments as a prophet, mayor, general, presidential candidate and much more. I love how honest Brother Bushman is in the book's preface: "A believing historian like myself cannot [...] pretend nothing personal is at stake. For a character as controversial as Smith, pure objectivity is impossible. What I can do is to look frankly at all the sides of Joseph Smith, facing up to his mistakes and flaws. Covering up errors makes no sense in any case. Most readers do not believe in, nor are they interested in, perfection. We want to meet a real person." Brother Bushman has "undertaken to explore a side of Joseph Smith not adequately examined in other biogrophies: his religious thought." Thus, we are able to peer into the mind and thoughts of the prophet - to a degree never before accomplished. What motivated him to make the choices he made? Why did he sometimes seem to "lie" in regards to poligamy, the danites, his political motivations, etc? Why was he so "secretive" of his past, the BOM translation, his early visions, etc? All of these and other questions are addressed and we are given a deeper understanding by peering into the mind and "religious thought" of the prophet. For those wondering how much of Brother Bushman's previous work 'Joseph Smith and the beginnings of Mormonism' is contained in this work, he answers that in the preface: "Large portions of chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5" are recycled in this book. I can't praise this book enough. I loved it so much that I bought a second copy to loan out to friends from church. (Yes, I am an active LDS.) I also bought a copy for my Dad for Christmas. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in a true and balanced history of Joseph Smith, the prophet. It is true that it shows "negative" sides to the prophet, but these are all very well documented and could not be ignored. I for one appreciate the inclusion of all the facts, not just the ones that place Joseph in a good light. It is as historian Terry L. Givens states on the back cover: "Clearly the definitive biogrophy for generations to come. The most balanced, thorough, and insightful treatment to date--truly a masterful work."

Good material for seminary class or testimony meeting, questionable history and biography
Format: Hardcover
Bushman' preface tells us that this "biography" is a "believers" perspective on Joseph Smith's life and time. Thus, Bushman's book is valuable as insight into how devout, believing, practicing Mormons view Joseph's life. To me, as a "gentile", the book seems like great material for a seminary class or a testimony meeting. The basic Mormon "testimony" statement goes something like "I have a testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God." I also imagine that this book might be good material for missionary training. But I have some problems with the historical scholarship. (See the end of my review.) Regardless of my problems with Bushman's text, Joseph Smith is an interesting and complicated character. He has had a lasting impact, and fathered a religion that has members around the world. His life, as well as the religion and church he founded, is well worth studying. But then the same could be said of Ellen White, L. Ron Hubbard, Mary Baker Eddy, and many others. Bushman does give us a valuable, well written (but at times tedious), insight into a believer's perspective on Joseph. But the value of this book as history and biography is problematic. When the historical evidence suggests conflicting interpretations, or negative interpretations, of Joseph, and exposes some of the "rough edges", Bushman never deviates from his testimony that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. Consequently Bushman always seems to be able to smooth the edges of this "rough stone rolling". In doing so there are some misrepresentations and omissions which diminish the value of this book as a serious study of Joseph's life and times. Bushman has solved the biography problem for believing Mormons who have waited over 60 years for an alternative, and antidote, to Fawn Brodie's "No one Knows my History". But I don't think he has transcended Brodie's work. If you are not a believing Mormon, a better introduction to Joseph Smith would be Robert Remini's short biography (182 pages), "Joseph Smith". Then tackle Bushman's tome (561 pages of text). Problems with Bushmans text: 1. Bushman, as Mormon historians and General Authorities have done for over 100 years, misrepresents and distorts the perspective of Josiah Quincy. A century ago B. H. Roberts claimed that Quincy was "on our side". In the prologue (pp. 1-7), Bushman represents Quincy as a benign "puzzled skeptic". In fact Quincy saw Joseph and his religious movement as an "evil fanaticism" and likens Joseph to Thomas Muntzer (Mulhausen) and Jan van Leydon (Munster). This is clearly stated in the opening paragraph of Quincy's essay, along with comments about "demoralizing doctrines", "still darker revelations", and the assertion that Joseph's religion is "subversive of every duty which we claim from the citizen". ( For the significance of the references to Mulhausen and Munster see Norman Cohn, The Pursuit of the Millennium, pp. 234-280 and Anthony Arthur, The Tailor-King). My concern is not with the merits of Quincy's essay. (You can read Quincy for yourself at [...]) Rather it is that Bushman's representation of Quincy as a benign "puzzled skeptic" is at best inaccurate. Quincy's puzzlement is of a very different nature than Bushman would have us believe. I think Quincy's statements might be closer to what Bushman call the "anti-Mormon argument" (p. 510). But Quincy's personal position on Joseph and his followers would be closer to Thomas Gregg's (p. 532). There are three other misrepresentations of Quincy. Towards the end of the book, Bushman quotes Quincy as saying the Nauvoo temple architecture is "odd and striking"(p. 504). But Quincy also said the temple was "grotesque"! In short he was not favorably impressed. On page 522 Bushman says "Quincy was surprised to hear Joseph invite a Methodist to preach from a Mormon pulpit." In Quincy's text the Methodist minister was clearly surprised at the invitation. But Quincy does not reveal his reaction to this invitation. Given Quincy's descriptions of the banter between Joseph and the minister, I think it would be more appropriate to say Quincy was at best amused. On page 560 Bushman says "Quincy saw in him `that kingly faculty that directs, as by intrinsic light." Bushman puts a period at the end of this quote when there should have been an ellipsis. The sentence concludes "the feeble or confused souls who are looking for guidance." Why did Bushman suggest that the sentence ended at "intrinsic light"? What was Quincy trying to say by this remark? Quincy clearly recognized Joseph as a natural and charismatic leader. While Quincy acknowledged Joseph's leadership strengths, this apparent compliment has to be tempered by the reference to "feeble or confused souls"? Also consider the Mulhausen and Munster references. I don't think that Quincy was in awe of Joseph, or impressed with Joseph in a positive way. Yet in the paragraph that contains this quote, Bushman is expressing his own sense of awe and marvel at Joseph's life and accomplishments. Bushman is entitled to his view of Joseph. But I don't think he is entitled to suggest that Quincy shared his view. 2. Bushman's discussion of the "View of the Hebrews" as a source for Joseph's writing the Book of Mormon (p. 96), fails to cite B. H. Roberts' extended essay documenting similarities between the two books. My concern is not with the merits of Roberts essay. The problem is that Bushman completely ignores Roberts essay in discussing this topic, as well as Roberts essay on archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon. (p. 92) (Roberts essays are published by Signature Books: "Studies of the Book of Mormon", 1985, [...]) I could cite more problems but I would greatly exceed what I think is the appropriate length for an Amazon review.

Like a freight train coming through...
Format: Paperback
I skimmed through a friend's paperback version and quickly realized that this book would require much more careful reading and study. I bought the Kindle version and spent 2 months carefully going through it. I honestly do not know how I missed this book when it came out and I'm embarrassed that it took me 7 years to find it. Like most LDS readers and reviewers here, this completely different approach to the Prophet's history throws you off while at the same time sucking you in. What's amazing to me is the way that Bushman tackles head-on the "problems" and "difficulties" with LDS history. As my title suggests, Bushman is like a freight train coming through Church history and it is a very welcome middle ground to both the Church version and the anti-Mormon version. As someone who has studied this stuff extensively, there was so much new for me in the book. For example, although I knew about the Zions Camp March, I never had actually learned that the whole expedition was an attempt to take back Jackson County lands by military means. Also present in the book are things that I've wondered but never been able to ask, such as all the different aspects of Joseph's practice of polygamy- including lying to Emma, sex with multiple wives, and marrying women who were already married. Bushman is unflinching and I feel this approach is vital for the internet age. As the "Joseph Smith Papers" continue to get published giving writers the good sources materials, I expect more of this open kind of historical inquiry to be written. Joseph's bad temper, his trusting of untrustworthy people, and his mismanagement of multiple situations need to be studied alongside his incredible accomplishments and daring. I agree with Bushman, who quotes Yale scholar Harold Bloom, that the King Follet discourse is one of the best sermons ever delivered in America. Bushman has a whole section dedicated to this one discourse, the climax of Joseph's theology and given at a time when so many things were going wrong for Joseph. I also agree with Bushman that it is a mystery why the King Follet discourse has not been canonized by the Church since it is equal to or superior to many of the revelations currently in the Doctrine & Covenants. Fantastic book and I would give it more stars if I could. The only drawback for me was that Bushman starts by describing Joseph's grandparents and parents before he gets to Joseph and this part bored me a little, but is important for putting Joseph in his historical context. Bushman's scholarly credentials are top-notch and LDS readers will be surprised at how the depth of Bushman's understanding of American history gives more meaning to early LDS church history. Although a patriarch and devout LDS member, Bushman is also one of the preeminent scholars of American history and it comes through in the book. I can see this being a huge benefit to non-Mormon readers who want to approach Joseph from a historical perspective than a believers' perspective. If you like this, I highly recommend you also read the author's "On the Road with Joseph Smith" which is a diary of Bushman's experiences with the book before and after it's release. Also, read Terryl Given's books starting with "By the Hand of Mormon".
