Cistus
ladanifer maculatus grows 5-6 feet tall and wide. The oils and
resins from this rockrose are collected for their fragrance. Cistus
ladanifer maculatus produces 2-3" crisp white flowers with pink spots
in the Spring. The rockroses are favored for a fire-scape
planting. This variety being so tall should be back from the
structure a bit. Cistus ladanifer maculatus is used in
Biblical theme gardens. The Brown Eyed Rockrose will grow with
little care and survive quite nicely on what nature gives us in the way of
rain. The Brown Eyed Rock Rose requires moderate drainage and
prefers full sun. Cistus ladanifer maculatus is Winter hardy into the low teens
or maybe even a little below.
