Haworthia ‘Green Rose’ is a cultivated succulent hybrid known for its striking rosette form and vibrant green leaves. It is popular among collectors for its aesthetic appeal and manageable size.

The leaf surfaces are smooth and often slightly translucent near the tips, giving a fresh, glowing appearance. The rosette shape resembles a rose in full bloom. In spring or summer, it may produce slender flower stalks with small, tubular, pale pink or white flowers.
