Can anyone identify this hedgey thing for me? I'm sorry the pictures are so rubbish - it was outside my old house so its presence in photos was always incidental, and now that I've left (of course) I'm wondering what it was.
Hedge was evergreen, with raggedy leaves. They were actually a fairly dark green and faintly furry rather wan waxy. The pink buds would appear in spring, and white flowers would begin blooming at end of May, all the way through June. Bees loved it.
The img upload thingy doesn't seem to work, so try:

A Cistus of one type or another would be my best guess.
That's it! Looks like rock rose / Cistus x corbariensis is a good bet. Thank you very much, HCA!
