rock rose
Drought-tolerant flowering shrub
Rock rose is a flowering shrub native to the Mediterranean region, known for drought tolerance and papery blossoms that resemble wild roses.
The flowers typically bloom in white, pink, or yellow, each lasting only a day.
Rock roses thrive in poor, rocky soil and are popular in xeriscaping: The rock rose has taken over that sunny slope.
