Snow Rose is a compact semi-evergreen shrub with stiff branches and dense leathery deep green foliage. Delicate pink buds open to funneled, star-shaped white flowers that bloom singularly or in clusters from spring into fall. Flowers best in partial sun and rich, consistently moist, well-drained soils. Note: Snow Rose's foliage has an unpleasant scent when damaged.
