They love sun and water… we planted a stick one year and in no time it was a large tree. Beautiful in the fall. See a lot of them as we travel from south Georgia to north Georgia—Confederate Territory. 🙂

Thank you. I looked up the Confederate Rose and that is it exactly. It is on the south side of our house and is over 20 feet tall this year.

Is it a tree? Might be a hibiscus plant that became popular in the south after the civil war. No one could afford roses then. This tree grows easily from a cutting and became known as a ‘Confederate Rose’ in the southern states where if grows best.

Looks like a fancy double version of a rose mallow/hardy hibiscus. I have some in white, light pink, mauve, and red and the leaves and buds look spot-on with what you have there.
