  • There is trick to pruning your ROS. Very easy!  I clipped mine back about two feet from the top in the spring " before" it leafed out. The top now has a lot more flowers on top!.

  • @mitsugst06 (Actually the "Rose of Sharon" is not a rose at all. It's an hibiscus of the breed "Hibiscus Syriacus").

  • @hrbear thanks!!!

  • They are really out of control in my neghborhood, so the town hall emploees collect their fallen flowers from the roads in weekly basis. :) I just planted some in the veranda, and wait for them to root and grow. :) I don't remember if they have perfume or not. :)

  • @mitsugst06 No. :-)

  • does the rose of sharon have thorns?
