The Corbières rockrose, or Cistus × corbariensis, is an evergreen Mediterranean shrub of hybrid origin, perfectly suited to dry, poor soils. It's also one of the hardiest in its genus, which allows it to be grown—provided the soil is very well-drained—well beyond its native range, even at the edge of woodland.

It grows as a small, bushy shrub forming a perfectly rounded dome.
Its leaves are dark green and textyred.
In the spring it becomes covered with an abundance of small white blooms, each brightened by a little yellow center. Highly fragrant, the blooms attract butterflies.
Though each flower lasts only a day, their abundance and continuous renewal create a spectacular floral display for several weeks.
Rockroses are a quintessential expression of the garrigue spirit; to grow them successfully, you should give them what they like: poor, well-drained soil that's dry in summer, and a spot sheltered from icy winds - between other shrubs, under a tree or by a stone wall does the trick.
