Helianthemum Vulgare Flowering Shrub
Common Rock Rose. Europe (Britain), North Africa, and West Asia. A widely distributed native plant, of dwarf growth, with linear-oblong, hairy leaves, and usually yellow flowers. Helianthemum vulgare nummularium differs in having the leaves green and sub-orbicular, with yellow flowers. Helianthemum vulgare barbaturn is of erect habit, with silky, hairy, oval leaves. Helianthemum vulgare mutabile bears pale rose flowers, marked with yellow at the base. Helianthemum vulgare grandiflorum is remarkable for the large, bright yellow flowers, and is one of the most beautiful and worthy varieties. Helianthemum vulgare ovalifolium bears yellow flowers and ovate leaves, with the margins revolute. Helianthemum vulgare hyssopifolium bears reddish flowers, but the colouring varies considerably, and saffron is not uncommon.
The Rockroses are very valuable plants, in that they will succeed on
poor, gravelly banks where few other plants could eke out an existence.
They cannot withstand stiff soil, nor that at all inclined to be damp,
their favourite resorts being exposed, rocky ground, and dry, gravelly
banks. Being readily increased from cuttings, which take root well under
a hand glass or in a cool house, it is advisable, at least with the more
tender forms, to have at hand a stock, so that blanks in the shrubbery
may be filled up.
