Texas Rose... looks like a pot plant when not in bloom??


Question:I am looking to replace a plant that was in one of our customer's yard. He said it looks similar to a pot plant when not in bloom but when it blooms it has a beautiful red flower. He said the name of it was Texas Rose but I can not find this online. Anyone know what kind of plant this really is and where I could find one?
