Interesting Facts
Rock rose is not a true rose. Flowers are hibiscus shaped and exhibit a very unique "bright Barbie pink" color. Flowers open in the cooler morning hours and close during the heat of the day. Left alone, it will grow big and leggy, but pruning it often can encourage a denser, more compact growth habit.
