Cistus skanbergii (commonly called Pink Rockrose) is a hybrid rockrose shrub with low dense evergreen growth to 2-3 feet tall and wide. It has soft gray-green foliage and during spring and early summer there appear 1 inch wide pale pink blooms with yellow stamens in the center. The flowers are smaller than most rockroses and are produced so profusely that they cover the plant. Likes full sun in well drained soil.Irrigate occasionally to not at all. It tolerates seaside conditions and drought. Cut it back in late summer for fall re-blooming.
