All that I could find, written by Bach about Rock Rose has been collected here. Bach regarded the text from "The Twelve Healers & Other Remedies" (1936) as the final and simple version.
Bach gooide de oudere versies van de twaalf genezers weg en verving ze steeds door de nieuwere, naarmate hij meer remedies ontdekte. De oudere versies zijn hier opgenomen met de bedoeling de ontwikkeling te kunnen bestuderen.

Rock Rose   -   Helianthemum nummularium


September 1936: Wallingford Lecture (Collected Writings, pg 8/22; Original Writings, pg 160)

There are five types of fear, and therefore there are five remedies, one for each type.

The first is when the fear is very great, amounting to terror or panic; either in the patient or because the condition is so serious as to cause intense fear to those around. It may be in the case of sudden illness or accident, but always when there is great emergency or danger, give the remedy for this, made from a small plant which is called Rock Rose.

Rock Rose is a beautiful thing with bright yellow flowers; it grows on hillsides often where the ground is stony or rocky, and a cultivated variety is to be found on rockeries in gardens, though the one growing naturally should always be chosen for healing.

This remedy has had wonderful results and many an alarming case has been better within minutes or hours of its being given.

The key-notes for this remedy are: panic, terror, great emergency or danger.

September 1936: The Twelve Healers & Other Remedies (Collected Writings, pg 36/62)

*ROCK ROSE

The rescue remedy. The remedy of emergency for cases where there even appears no hope. In accident or sudden illness, or when the patient is very frightened or terrified, or if the condition is serious enough to cause great fear to those around. If the patient is not conscious the lips may be moistened with the remedy. Other remedies in addition may also be required, as, for example, if there is unconsciousness, which is a deep, sleepy state, Clematis; if there is torture, Agrimony, and so on.

When the sun set and the shadows deepened and the night-noises of the forest were heard around them, Rock Rose became full of terror and was in a state of panic.

Rock Rose in the darkest moments is a picture of calm, serene courage.
