Identification please. Have taken a few cuttings of this from a friend’s garden. Neither of us know it’s name - but it is so pretty. Thanks in advance.

I think it is Cistus purpureus. It grows in to a lovely shrub up to 1m high by 1m spread.

Quite right Sheila. I was incorrect. It is purpureus.

I grow this one and another pale pink one Cistus albidus. These are both shrubs up to 1m x 1m. I lost Cistus ladanifer. It was a bit bigger but it died. It had white flowers with a dark red blotch.
