The desert rose, or Adenium obesum, has a bulbous trunk primarily as a means of water storage. This adaptation allows the plant to survive in arid environments by efficiently retaining moisture during periods of drought. The swollen trunk also helps support the plant's weight and provides stability in sandy soils. Additionally, the bulbous shape aids in nutrient storage, promoting overall growth and health.
The desert rose, scientifically known as Adenium obesum, gets its name due to its rose-like flowers and its adaptation to arid environments. The plant is native to the deserts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, where it thrives in dry conditions. Its striking, trumpet-shaped blooms and swollen, succulent trunk resemble a rose, hence the name. Additionally, its resilience in harsh climates further emphasizes its desert association.

It isn't, it is a member of the malvaceae - mallows, not the rosacae. The common name rose has been given to almost countless plants that have large attractive flowers with a passing resemblance to a true rose. Apples are members of the rose family though!! (Look closely at apple blossom and they are near identical to wild rose flowers - Rosa canina etc.)
The desert cactus
There are two plants called the desert rose. By the reference to a 'flyer', you are probably meaning the Sturt's Desert Rose of Australia. If so, you do not need to pre-treat or remove the 'flyer'. Just sow seed in potting mix - you can buy a mix especially for native plants. If your question relates to the succulent Adenium obesum, which is from the oleander family, then you also don't need to pre-treat the seed.

Do you meant desert rose the plant or desert rose the mineral? There is a big difference.
