Troubadour Rock Rose
A supremely fragrant cistus, Troubadour Rock Rose was selected from a cross between C. ladanifer and C. laurifolius, and features beautiful white flowers in spring with a maroon-red blotch at the base of each petal. But the reason we really love this one is for its intensely fragrant foliage. A great shrub next to pathways where you might brush up against it and smell the intoxicating ladanifer oils and be whisked away to the a Mediterranean hillside.
