If you are looking for an undemanding plant that will bring the colors of the Mediterranean and joy for bees into your garden, rock rose is the right choice. The key to success is to find it the sunniest spot in the garden. Shade does not suit it – the plants would stretch for light, thin out, and bloom only a little. Regarding soil, a simple rule applies: the poorer and more permeable, the better. 'Bronzeteppich' rock rose thrives in dry, loamy-sandy soil where water does not stand. If you have heavy soil in the garden, you must dig a larger hole when planting and lighten the soil with a large amount of sand or fine stones. We plant the seedlings so they have room around them to spread, ideally at a spacing of 30 cm from surrounding plants.
During the season, the rock rose requires only minimal attention, making it an ideal plant for 'lazy' gardeners. Limit watering to the absolute minimum; the plant is adapted to drought and overwatering is more likely to kill it than strengthen it. Fertilizing is not necessary; in its natural environment, it grows on poor substrates and in the garden, it makes do with little. However, for this semi-shrub to remain dense and beautiful for many years, a summer trim is essential. After the main flowering finishes (usually in July), take scissors and trim the whole plant. Don't be afraid to remove all the faded parts and shorten the shoots; this will encourage the formation of new, healthy growth and maintain the cushion-like shape. Without this pruning, the small shrub would age over time, fall apart, and look untidy.
As for overwintering, this cultivar is hardy enough (frost hardiness zone 6a). Since it is evergreen, there can be a risk of leaf damage in snowless winters with harsh sun. If black frosts occur, it is advisable to lightly cover the plant with evergreen branches, which will protect it from the winter sun and drying out by the freezing wind. Rock rose is also wonderfully suited for growing in containers, for example in stone troughs or on south-facing balconies. In a container, however, the substrate freezes faster, so it is advisable to wrap the pot in jute or polystyrene for the winter and place it in a sheltered spot under a roof, so it doesn't get rained on and the roots don't rot in the winter.
