description_en: Genus of 55-60 species of erect to spreading, branching, and occasionally rosette-forming annuals and perennials from stony hillsides, scrub, or field margins, mainly in the Mediterranean and S.W. Asia, but also in E. Africa and N.W. India. They have alternate, small, variably shaped, entire, toothed, or pinnatifid, prominently veined, mostly mid-green leaves. Star-shaped, greenish white or greenish yellow, sometimes red-tinged flowers, each with 4-10 narrow petals, are borne in long, unbranched or branching, spike-like racemes from spring to autumn. R. odorata has been grown for centuries, mainly for its fragrant flowers, which hold their scent for months even when cut and dried; modern cultivars have larger, more strongly coloured flowers, which tend to be less fragrant. All are attractive to bees, and are ideal for a mixed or herbaceous border, or for a wildflower garden.
