Rock roses

Rock roses are a family of flowering plants typically characterized by their showy, five-petaled flowers and simple, opposite leaves. These plants thrive in sunny, dry habitats, prospering in well-drained soils. Adapted to harsh conditions, rock roses can often be found in Mediterranean-type ecosystems where their resilience to drought plays a pivotal role in their survival and proliferation.
