Description

A bushy evergreen shrub 4' high and 6' across with narrow, gray-green leaves and complimentary clear pink flowers. Flowers appear in great profusion in mid-spring and can continue well into summer. More refined in character than most other rockroses, and well-suited to smaller gardens. Greece. -Native Sons Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation systems at least once per month (or after each mowing).

Monitor each cycle to identify obvious problems and to confirm that all of the components are functioning properly.

Contact your water agency for assistance.
