My Cistus plants look half dead, should I feed them?

Our Advice:

Cistus (rock rose) plants prefer a warm, well drained site in full sunshine. They often look sickly in winter but recover in spring. Wait until the new growth starts and then trim away any frost damaged growth, cut back by one-third and feed with Bloom Booster from Scott's.
