watering
Rock rose (Helianthemum 'Henfield Brilliant') should be watered once a week during the growing season, providing a deep soaking at each watering. Adequate water during dry spells will help keep the compact, evergreen foliage and brilliant yellow flowers from wilting and fading. During the winter months, reduce watering to once a month. Soak the soil thoroughly to ensure that all roots are receiving moisture. Too much water during winter months can cause the plant to rot and die.
sunlight
Rock Rose (Helianthemum 'Henfield Brilliant') likes full sun and needs 6 to 8 hours per day. When choosing the spot for this plant, make sure it’s getting direct rays from the sun in the morning until late afternoon for optimum results. Rock Rose can tolerate partial shade, but it won’t be as brilliant and flower as heavily, so it’s best to keep in a sunny area.
pruning
Rock rose (Helianthemum 'Henfield Brilliant') should be pruned twice per year — once in the spring before new growth appears and once right after flowering in the summer. When pruning in the spring, create an open shape by cutting out any dead, overcrowded, or crossed stems. During the summer prune, cut off all fading blooms. Don't get carried away and cut back too severely. Rock rose respond best to light pruning.
