Ive had this plant for three years now. I have the Annabel variety, which has double blooms. Mine has formed a small six inch mound. It is evergreen. I really love it because it does well in a tough area of my garden where little else will grow.

Rock Roses (Cistaceae family) are sometimes classified as "woody perennials" and other times as "shrublets". They are not long-lived shrubs, and will likely need replacing every 3 years or when they begin to look scraggly.
Contrary to their name, they will not tolerate poor, dry, rocky soil, but will do best in average garden soil (not too rich), with regular water to encourage hard, non-succulent growth. In colder climates, cover the plants with everygreen boughs in the winter to prevent dessication.
