It has been suggested to use the location=roof or location=rooftop tags
to map things that are on top of a roof.

Mapping a rooftop parking?
amenity=parking + location=rooftop

A rooftop fence, to stop you from falling down from the parking grounds?
barrier=fence + location=rooftop

A rooftop waste basket, used by the people parking there?
amenity=waste_basket + location=rooftop

I personally like the idea.

But just to make this clear: In very simple cases (some plants and
nothing else), I would still suggest using roof:material. But your
example sounds more complex than that.
