Rose of Sharon is in full bloom. I have two colors in an obscure part of the yard. I also have double red one on the front lawn. It also is starting to bloom.

@Durgan, I like the color of the Rose of Sharon.I have worked for a lady who had a double white one.

The first two pictures are an escapade rose. The rest are rose of sharon. I didn't realize the rose was still on the camera.

I have to admit. Seeing the title of this thread. I thought of Rose of Sharon/Hypericum.

That's the problem with common names isn't it, a rose is just a rose. Generally the common name for hypericum is rose of sharon. Latin for rose is rosa, hypericum calycinum -''rose of sharon''

I can only see one picture @Durgan

Rose of Sharon Hibiscus

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) and Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) are cousins. Both are members of the mallow family, a large group of several hundred different plant species. While the flowers of rose of Sharon and Chinese hibiscus look similar, these plants are from different climates; one is temperate and the other tropical, so they thrive in different places.
