Native Rose

Boronia Serrulata

 
 
 

Boronia serrulate is more commonly known as native rose or rose boronia.  It is a pretty species of plant from the citrus family, Rutaceae and is endemic to New South Wales, mainly in the Sydney basin.  It is a small shrub with star-shaped, deep pink flowers that have a lovely delicate perfume.  The foliage is also fragrant and has a bronze tinge in cold conditions, it really is a good-looking plant all year round. 

A wonderful plant to use as a feature plant or in borders, or rockeries in the garden where it will thrive as a low maintenance plant in well-drained soil and will also look great growing in pots too.  Native Rose handles frost well, and bees, butterflies and other insects love it!
