White Rock Rose

White Rock Rose

White Rock Rose brings a touch of Mediterranean magic to any garden, creating clouds of delicate white flowers that look like they were designed by someone who really understood the meaning of "effortless elegance." This low-growing shrub blooms with the enthusiasm of someone who just discovered their favorite hobby, producing waves of papery white flowers from late spring through summer.


Each flower lasts only a day, but the plant produces so many that you'll never notice the individual casualties. It's like having a flower factory that runs on autopilot, constantly churning out fresh blooms to replace yesterday's performers. The flowers are simple but perfect – five white petals around a yellow center that practically glow against the dark green foliage.


What makes White Rock Rose truly remarkable is its ability to thrive in conditions that would send other flowering shrubs into therapy. Drought? Bring it on. Poor soil? Perfect. Hot, sunny exposure where nothing else wants to grow? Even better. This Mediterranean native evolved to handle tough conditions, and it shows that confidence in every drought-defying bloom.


The compact, mounding form makes it perfect for rock gardens, slope stabilization, or anywhere you need reliable color without a lot of maintenance fuss. The aromatic foliage adds sensory appeal, releasing a pleasant resinous fragrance when warmed by the sun. You'll find this Mediterranean charmer adding months of white blooms and drought tolerance to our median plantings, proving that tough plants can also be absolutely beautiful.
