Bach Flower Remedies Roch Rose is made from an aqueous extract of Helianthemum nummularium. Behind this scientific name lies a pretty perennial plant from warm regions: the common rock rose, also known as yellow rock rose, round-leaved rock rose, or nummularium rock rose. Its leaves, elongated and very narrow, grow opposite each other on the stem. Hairy, they are white underneath and bright green above.
The yellow rock rose has the particularity of having very delicate flowers: they only bloom in full sun and rarely last more than a day. They are so fragile that a light touch is enough for their petals to fall… This semi-creeping plant is however much stronger than it seems, because it manages to flower in difficult conditions to say the least. It can grow very well in dry and stony soil, exposed to the maximum of the blazing rays of the sun. It is therefore not uncommon to see its beautiful flowers with five bright yellow petals blooming in the heart of gravel pits, from June to July. Given its capabilities, the yellow rock rose is also often used to create rockeries in gardens and to brighten up low walls.
