White Rockrose

White rockrose (Cistus × hybridus, Cistaceae) is the accepted botanical name for the plant often sold as C. × corbariensis, a broadleaf evergreen shrub of hybrid origin from southern Europe. It is a dense, bushy plant reaching 2 to 5 feet tall with white flowers bearing yellow-centered petals.

White rockrose grows in full sun on well-drained soil and becomes drought tolerant once established. Documented disease associations include root rot; root weevil is the primary pest. No cultivars are documented in the profile.
