Cistus populifolius, also known as Poplar-leaved Rockrose, is interesting for its coloured foliage in winter, its beautiful stature, and its hardiness, allowing it to withstand down to -12/-15°C (10.4/5°F) in well-drained soil. This botanical species forms a beautiful, branching and fragrant shrub with an upright habit. It bears large, green, evergreen leaves and offers a profusion of white flowers in spring with a golden stamen heart. Like many rockroses, it is highly resistant to drought, but it also stands out for its good tolerance to partially shaded exposures.
The poplar-leaved rockrose belongs to the cistaceae family. It is widespread in France, northern Spain and Portugal. It is a beautiful shrub that can easily reach a height of 2m (6.5ft), with a spread of 1m (3.3ft). Its growth is quite slow, the plant ages relatively well, and lives for 12 to 15 years. The flowering takes place in spring or early summer depending on the climate and lasts about a month. The flowers are composed of 5 white petals and gathered in corymbs. They are round and open, with a diameter of 4 to 6 cm (1.6 to 2.4 in), enhanced by numerous bright yellow stamens. They only live for a day, covering the ground with their petals in the late afternoon, but will be replaced the next morning. The evergreen foliage consists of large, ovate, heart-shaped leaves that resemble those of certain poplars. They are dark green from spring to summer, paler underneath. The branches are sticky and highly fragrant.
This attractive shrub that thrives in acidic and poor soils can be used in mass plantings, large rock gardens and light woodland areas, under Japanese maples for example, alongside Phlomis samia. Create a small informal hedge to accompany your rockrose, by associating it with tree heathers, brooms, bottlebrushes, or bushy ceanothuses. You can plant it in well-drained soil almost anywhere but for the coldest regions, it is better to cultivate it in large pots, ensuring good drainage and watering abundantly (with non-chalky water) but sparingly, allowing the substrate to dry out between waterings.

Botanical data
Cistus populifolius requires a light, well-drained, sandy, acidic and poor soil. Plant it after the last frost in the north and in September-October in hot and dry climates. It thrives in both full sun and light shade, or even in more pronounced shade in warm regions, and tolerates competition from the roots of mature trees fairly well. In these conditions, it is hardy down to -12°C/-15°C (10.4/5 °F) and will live longer. Mulch it in winter in the coldest regions, and protect it from the cold as much as possible. Place it in a warm spot in the garden, in full sun or against a south-facing wall, in a rocky or sandy slope in any substrate that does not retain moisture, which would be fatal to it in winter or summer, which is its period of vegetative rest. The combination of heat and humidity leads to the development of a fungus that attacks the collar of the plant and would be as fatal to it as a Siberian cold. You can prune the stems after flowering to encourage the plant to branch out. Avoid severe pruning.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
