Rockrose, also known as Cistus symphytifolius and Halimium lasianthum subsp. Formosum, is a vibrant and resilient plant that can be found in various regions across the globe. In Eire's enchanting landscape, amidst the breathtaking limestone pavement of The Burren, one can witness the mesmerizing sight of Mountain Avens (Dryas octopetala) and Hoary Rockrose (Helianthemum oelandicum) thriving harmoniously. The allure extends far beyond its native habitats. A stunning 1951 lithograph captures the essence of this flower alongside other captivating blooms like Biting Stonecrop or Wall Pepper, Cowslip, Primrose, and Rockrose itself. This artwork serves as a testament to the timeless beauty that rockrose possesses. Gum cistus or rock rose (Cistus cyprius), with its delicate petals and intoxicating fragrance, graces landscapes in Cyprus with its presence. Meanwhile, along Costa Vicentina's picturesque coastline lies another variant called false sun-rose or halimium (Cistus calycinum). Its vibrant colors add a touch of vibrancy to an already stunning backdrop. Corsica in France becomes adorned with Sage-leaved Rockrose (Cistus salvifolius) during April when their flowers bloom magnificently. Montpelier Rockrose (Cistus monspeliensis), another Corsican gem, showcases its intricate flowers during this time as well. Venturing further into England's natural wonders reveals White Rock-roses' (Helianthemum apenninum) resplendent flowering at Berry Head N. N. R. , Torbay in July. Spanish Pyrenees boasts Pink Rockroses' close-up view (Helianthemum nummularium ssp. pyrenaica), showcasing their delicate petals against Spain's rugged terrain in June.
