Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' is available as Single or Multi Head plants when in stock. Please select your preferred option from the menu above the Add to Cart button. An image of the typical plant size is displayed with the chosen option.
Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' is a distinctive cultivated succulent known for its tightly compacted, rose-like rosette held at the top of an increasingly visible stem. Its plump, overlapping leaves give the mature plant an unusual resemblance to a long-stemmed rose.
The fleshy leaves are tightly arranged into compact rosettes and are typically sea-green to grey-green with a soft glaucous surface. Their broad, overlapping arrangement creates the layered appearance responsible for the 'Lovely Rose' name. Subtle pink and pastel tones can also develop according to season, light and growing conditions.
Individual rosettes generally remain relatively small and compact. As the plant matures, the lower leaves gradually give way to an exposed stem beneath the rosette, making the resemblance to a rose on a stem increasingly apparent.
'Lovely Rose' produces offsets and can gradually develop from a single rosette into a multi-headed clump. The stems can become increasingly elongated with age, while new rosettes develop around the established growth.
Established plants can also produce clusters of small pale yellow flowers, sometimes with a greenish stripe along the petals.
'Lovely Rose' is generally classified horticulturally as a ×Graptoveria, the nothogenus used for hybrids involving Graptopetalum and Echeveria. It is also frequently sold under the name Echeveria 'Lovely Rose'.
The cultivar has been documented as originating in the nursery of N. Kleinmichel and S. Grätz in Wörth, Germany. Its precise parentage has not been established. It has been reported as a mutation of ×Graptoveria 'Titubans', but without reliable documentation of its complete parentage we prefer to retain the established ×Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' name rather than assign unconfirmed parents.
We also grow Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' Variegated, with distinctive cream to yellow variegation, and Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' Monstrose Silk Variegata, a considerably larger-growing monstrose form with silk variegation.
Grow in a free-draining succulent mix in a bright position with good airflow. Good light helps maintain the compact, tightly layered rosette characteristic of 'Lovely Rose' and can encourage stronger seasonal colouring. Plants grown with insufficient light may become more open and elongated.
Acclimatise plants gradually before exposure to intense direct sun and provide protection from prolonged Australian summer afternoon sun where necessary. Water thoroughly when required and allow the growing medium to dry appropriately between waterings. Avoid keeping the mix continuously wet, particularly during cooler conditions.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
Pickup is available in Seville, Yarra Valley VIC by appointment. Order online as normal and any shipping charge will be automatically refunded after collection, unless you would prefer to receive an additional plant of similar value instead.
All plants are shipped bare rooted unless otherwise stated. This helps reduce shipping costs, improves plant safety during transit and allows plants to travel more reliably.

Such an exquisite rosette - thanks again John and Norma for such healthy looking specimens
Store owner replied: Thank you, Trish, for your three lovely reviews and photos! We're delighted you're enjoying your new additions and really appreciate your continued support. 🌸
I love these little beauty's! They arrived in good health and well protected. My only disappointment is that they didn't come with planting instructions or the plastic tags that I received with my first order. Thanks for the little gifts. They can go into the plants that are their bigger sisters and brothers!
These little beauty's came wrapped up in tissue paper and look like they're in good condition. I also received a gift of a few unidentified cuttings. My only gripe is that they came with no care instructions or plastic tags, which came with my first order some time ago. I guess I'll have to google search it. Altogether I'm happy with my purchase. And the purchase didn't arrive yesterday, it came today, Thursday 19th
The succulents are just beautiful. I have wanted the lovely rose for a long time. I have always wanted chain of hearts and the fact that it's variegated is the dream come true. Thankyou for the beautiful plants and the care that goes into making sure we get them in good condition. The gifts you give are a wonderful surprise.
