Tips to Grow Rock Rose

  1. Arrange good quality Rockrose plant.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. It should be well-drained.
  3. Rockrose plants can be grown in containers as well as in gardens. Because they prefer dry conditions, they generally don’t do well when planted in small containers that require frequent watering
  4. Rockrose plants do well when transplanted from containers to the garden but usually don’t survive when they are transplanted from the garden into a container.
  5. Rockrose plants should be lightly pruned after they have finished flowering to help preserve the buds for next year’s bloom.
  6. In the spring they may need pruning to help remove winter damage and correct the shape but this should be done conservatively.
