Not at all related to roses, Meadowland, but apparently it reminded someone of roses when they came up with the common name for it.

Is it a trumpet flower Bb? I wonder if it's related to the Mandeville's? They would do well in your climate..

Janey, this is a succulent shrub in the sub-family of dogbane. It's a staple of gardens in the tropics and sub-tropics as it is so drought-hardy and heat-hardy.
