Cultivation. In the north of France you can try to leave the plant in open 

 ground, giving it a southern exposure and average soil, but several specimens ought to be 

 retained in a conservatory. It's propagated by planting the seeds in April in pots or in a 

 tray in compost. When the seedlings have five or six leaves, they are transplanted 

 separately into very small pots placed in the shade, or in a shaded compost bed, so that 

 they can take root. They also can be propagated from cuttings, which must be done in the 

 summer. They will take root after six weeks. 



KEY TO PLATE. 



1. White-leaved rockrose. 2. Calyx and stamens. 3. Pistil with several stamens to
