description_en: Genus of about 40 species of mainly deciduous shrubs found in scrub and on rocky hillsides from E. Europe to the Himalayas, E. Asia, and North and Central America. They are cultivated for their usually fragrant, 4-petalled, cup- or bowl-shaped, sometimes cross-shaped, single, semi-double, or double flowers, produced singly or in racemes, panicles, or cymes. The leaves are simple, mostly ovate, and usually mid-green, arranged in opposite pairs.
