A tidy, compact, sun and heat-loving shrub
岩蔷薇，常绿灌木。耐乾旱 很適合加州種植。
Tolerates drought, poor soil, even some neglect!
below is the Crimson-Spot Rockrose,solitary papery white flowers blotched with crimson spots at the base of each petal.
They are evergreen shrubs with flowers “born for the moment”, opening early in the morning and dropping their crape-paper like petals , and are replenished with fresh new flowers the next day.
半日花科. 開半天的花
petals crinkled like crape paper
花瓣像皺皮的紙片
岩蔷薇花语：拒绝
岩蔷薇讓草食性動物都刻意避開不吃，主要是因為它的汁液有毒，稍微碰到之後就會皮膚紅腫。因此岩蔷薇的花語就是——拒绝。
Rockroses generally perform best in full sun to part afternoon shade and, once established, can tolerate very dry conditions
喜歡全日照 或一點點的半陰的地方。
這種 趴地型的 很適合種在墻壁上 或有很多石頭設計的花園。
This pink one is Magenta Rock Rose: low spreading, evergreen shrub with eye-catching clusters of yellow-centered, rich cerise flowers.
Rock-rose is a “fire-follower”, one of many plants of the sage scrub and chaparral that have seeds that can remain dormant for many years and are stimulated to sprout by a wildfire. Thus “fire-followers” are extremely abundant for a few years following a fire, decreasing in abundance thereafter until another fire starts the cycle anew.
它們會自燃。特別是在夏天的時候，一旦氣溫過熱，岩薔薇含有油脂的葉子就可能會自燃。
它們自燃，完全是出於本能，它們燃燒了自己的同時也燒掉了它們周圍其他的植物，化為灰燼的岩薔薇根部會在其他根部沒有被燒到的植物發芽之前，開始發芽。也能最先利用到各種植物灰燼帶來的營養物質，而生長非常迅速。
A beautiful but super easy to grow plant that can add in your rock garden or any place to brighten the spot.
很美麗 也很容易種植的花，在缺水 乾旱的加州 這花是很受歡迎的！
