Boronia serrulata (commonly called the Native Rose) is a shrub about 1m high. It has crowded rhomboid leaves and bright pink cup-shaped flowers with a pleasant fragrance. Like many other Boronias, the leaves are strongly aromatic when crushed [1].
Its natural distribution is restricted to Hawkesbury sandstone of the Sydney basin where it often grows around exposed sandstone outcrops[2].
