Adenium
Are adenium considered roses?
https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=71503 is the only extended thread there has been here. There is a link to some photos, but I haven't followed the link.
If you can get the full scientific name of Adenium, you'll know. Rosaceae is the (rather large) rose family, with over 3,000 named members.

Well, not to differ with cynthia, but here's a list of what's included in family rasaceae: https://montana.plant-life.org/families/Rosaceae.htm
it includes wild strawberries, geums, serviceberry trees, ninebark, wild raspberries. Although they are all in the same family with roses, I think by no stretch would we use the common name rose to describe any of them. I think the same applies to the adenium.
