Arctostaphylos tomentosa rosei var. - Rose's Manzanita

Description

An uncommon plant, Rose's Manzanita is found only in the Lake Merced area of San Francisco, on Mount Tamalpais and in Monterey County. It is a member of chaparral communities generally found growing in sandy soils. Bronzy new growth and an open habit make this a nice Manzanita as a bank cover, against a fence or in another area where a rambling shrub is appreciated.
