What is there to fault with Sunroses? Blooming fools they are and when it is soft rose-pink flowers over low mats of silvery foliage then life in the garden is good. A very hardy Mediterranean plant that revels in the sun and salt spray near the beach. Throw in a Corona and I'm right there with it!
