in portuguese there are 3 names, Echevéria, rosa-de-pedra(stone rose), bola-de-neve-mexicana (mexican snowball)normaly ,even in small regions like portugal, the popular names for plants and animals, are very diferents from each other

I have never grown these before but I would think they need a lot of light, well drained soil and more water if the weather is hot and dry. They prefer a dry climate.

I've never heard this Echeveria called Desert Rose ( I don't think you mean dessert rose?), but I'm learning many species share the same common name. For Desert Rose usually refers to Adenium obesum.
