Green China Rose
Rosa chinensis viridiflora - resulted (it is surmised) in the mid-1800's from a chance mutation -- a "sport" -- of Slater's Crimson China rose. The flower is made up of sepals, rather than petals.
Recently there have been more than a few wilting pansies in the heat of our SFV garden -- how much 106F can one take, thank you very much? But the China roses don't seem to mind the weather.
