Roses are a type of temperate plant native to East Asia. That's why when brought to Vietnam, this plant thrives in Dalat - a land with a cool climate all year round. You can tell when the roses are about to bear fruit through the leaves of the plant. When the leaves fall off, you can expect the bright red or orange roses to emerge.
