Do you know the botanical name of your October Rose? Can you post a pic? I have one I got under that name, but I'm not sure which species it is. How do you root it?

I have some cuttings of the Fl Cranberry hibiscus also known as hibiscus acetosella.It has the maple shaped leaves that are burgundy.I'm not sure what I'm looking for at this time.

I will have Hibiscus acetosella seeds in about a month, I believe. My shrubs are begining to bloom right now. I would be interested in trading for your white Texas Star Hib. If you don't find a quick trade. Let me know. Thanks cocomo

Wow, you've got some I've never heard of. I like em too, that's about all I ever plant anymore...this house came with a neglected, ill-planned garden. I work and have a 3 year old that doesn't take the heat and basically doesn't like it outside. I need low maintenence stuff like this. My hibiscus as tall as the house are definately not confederates, we have those too, i guess they are hardys. All I ever find locally are the "rosa sinensis" but they are doing fine, usually double in height in one season. Only one ever died!I'd love to see pics of the others! Oh, we had one that died that had huge blossems, nearly 10 inches! It was leggy and twiggy when we moved in and when the heat was over 100 for weeks on end, it died...I tried.
