Morbid roses
When one speaks of morbid roses, it is about rarities or roses with unusual colors. There is no clear definition. Mostly roses are meant that are paler in color, such as lavender, pink or brown, but also those that differ significantly from the classic rose. Sometimes the morbid roses also include varieties with a bizarre flower shape. A classic example of this is the “Viridiflora” variety, the flowers of which can almost be described as shattered.
