Main asset

Plant very drought resistant, typical "crumpled" spectacular bloom.

Remarks

Beyond the cold, Rock Roses fear winter moisture. Light pruning after flowering will keep them compact ; never cut on old wood.

One of the most hardy Cistus, natural hybrid of CISTUS populifolius X CISTUS salvifolius.
