This website is dedicated to the genus Adenium, commonly called adeniums and desert roses. My main purpose is to showcase their diversity both in the wild and in cultivation. I also provide guidance to cultivating the plants in hot, arid climates, based on my 40+ years of experience.

The content was compiled by Dr. Mark Dimmitt of Tucson Arizona, with images and information contributed by many plant explorers and growers all over the world (credited in the photo captions). The site was designed by Brian Rasmussen.
I intend this website to be a comprehensive source of knowledge about Adeniums. I welcome your comments, corrections, and especially additions of new photos and information beyond what is already here.
