In general, Aeonium don't like hot or dry weather, so they may turn dormant in summer (hence, they don't need water, except in very dry conditions). In extreme heat, their leaves tend to curl to prevent excessive water loss.
Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is a U.S. hybrid but one of its parents is unknown. The red-marked glutinous leaves and hemispherical habit point to Aeonium sedifolium.
This is my favorite Aeonium species. However, it's extremely difficult to take care in lowlands. Still, I'm trying to experiment on the right spot and potting mix for Bronze Medal that will make them thrive in my small garden.
