The Cape Stock Rose originates from the Eastern Cape in South Africa and it is easily grown from cuttings of about 20 cn or 9 inches.

It is a beautiful ornamental shrub with white flowers that can grow quickly if in a sunny well drained sandy soil. It does not like fertiliser as does any other fynbos. A pleasant gardening experience.
