Description

Unique in every way, meet the Confederate Rose, a wonderful hardy Hibiscus recognized for its fall display of gorgeous flowers of many colors on the same bush, bold foliage, impressive stature and form, and cold hardiness to as far north as USDA Zone 7a.

Unlike most hardy Hibiscus which bloom in summer, Confederate Rose produces its large and beautiful, peony-form flowers during the fall season. In our north-central gardens the flower buds start opening in October continuing all the way through late November to early December, depending on the weather. What’s really neat is how the flowers change color after opening. They open pure white then gradually turning to darker shades of pink until ending up a deep rose-pink to nearly red. Because buds open at different times the result is all these different colors on the same plant at the same time. Truly a spectacular sight to behold!

But the flowers aren’t the only impressive attribute of this Hibiscus. The bold, 7 to 8-inch wide soft and fuzzy green leaves, shaped and sized somewhat like those of the sycamore tree, serve as the perfect backdrop to the flowers while also providing a tropical effect in the garden spring to frost. The Confederate Rose would be an impressive texture plant in the landscape without the flowers. Growing 10-12 feet tall and almost as wide, it surely won’t go unnoticed. This is one beauty that deserves a spot in every landscape or garden where it has room to grow.

For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Zone 7a, where this Hibiscus variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in large containers that can be brought indoors during the winter months and placed back outdoors when temperatures rise in spring.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide, the Confederate Rose Hibiscus is ideal for use as a focal point specimen, in groupings, or as a seasonal hedge in sunny landscape borders and garden beds. It also serves well as a backdrop for lower growing plants in flower gardens. Suitable for growing in large containers and a fine addition to perennial gardens, cottage gardens and tropical-look gardens. For those who live north of USDA Zone 7a, where this plant is not reliably winter hardy, containers can be brought indoors during winter.

Spacing: 8 feet apart for solid hedges; 16 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Confederate Rose Hibiscus is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility in full sun to part shade. Flowering will be heavier with more sun. Though drought tolerant when established, plants will appreciate an occasional good deep soaking in the absence of rainfall during summer. Maintenance is minimal, just one pruning a year. In early spring, just when new growth begins to emerge, we cut the stems back to just a few inches or so above the ground. When temperatures warm in spring plants new stems will shoot up quickly to 10 feet or more in height!

Received the plant in great condition. I immediately planted it and so far it is doing well. I had bought other plants labeled “Confederate Rose” from plant nurseries and garden centers and they were Hibiscus, but not Confederate Rose. This appears to be the real thing; so I am excited for it to grow and bloom.—————————————Yay! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Just wanted to send y’all a note to say how much I appreciate the health of the plants I just received (3 hibiscus mutabilis) and the incredible customer care provided by Sherry … these were to be gifts to friends and I wasn’t sure how your stock may be at the end of the season, so she was kind enough to send me photo ops of the new babies to get my approval and then work through the shipping timeline so they didn’t sit on a truck over the long holiday weekend … I REALLY appreciate the extra time Sherry took in the course of a no doubt very busy day to make sure the purchase was 100% successful (my first with y’all but certainly not my last!) … thx!—————————————————————————–Wow!

received (3) healthy plants that were beautifully packed / hydrated … i was giving 2 away as gifts and put a note in the order to let me know if the plants (ordered at the end of the season) were in good shape or whether I should make another choice … received a text from Sherry with a couple of photos of the plants she intended to send – easily 3′ tall and looked great … she was worried about shipping them right before the Labor Day holiday (didn’t want them to sit in a hot truck for a long weekend) so we agreed to hold up until the following week … I’ve had a lot of experiences (good and bad) with online plant ordering, but Wilson Bros has won me over … it was very hard to find the Confederate Rose and after reading reviews I decided to take another chance with online ordering … really revived my faith that there are companies / employees that truly care about what they do and want to do the job right … Thanks y’all!—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

We bought the confederate rose and it immediately sprouted new leaves and grew taller. I’m sure it helped that we had rain, but our new plant is settled in nicely. I was so pleased with the buying experience and plant quality I ordered more plants and was equally pleased. I get the exact plant variety I want delivered to my door.—————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

This is my second purchase from Wilson Bros. I previously purchased two Forsythia bushes last year. They are doing beautifully, so I decided to purchase two of these Hibiscus bushes.

I bought the hibiscus rose for a friend to replace one her mean neighbor cut down recently. It had been a gift from her late father.
It’s such a beautiful tree. I wish my garden could accommodate one, but I only have a courtyard flower bed, too close to a tall wall.
I was very impressed with how fast my order came! I have recommended your company to family and friends.
Many thanks!————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope your friend enjoys it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I received my Confederate Rose Hibiscus this afternoon. I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with my order. My plant arrived in excellent condition. It hadn’t moved in the box at all. I am so excited to watch it grow. Buying plants online is a lot like buying a pig in a poke, you never know what you’re getting. Well, I just wanted you to know what an excellent job Mark did as he signed the invoice. And what a fantastic plant you sent me. Thank you so much I will be buying from you again and telling others as well!———————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I’ve order plants and trees from other places that have dissappointed me in the past. They would come mangled or damaged to the point that you would think it would never live. That has changed now. When I recieved my Confederate Rose from Wilson Bros. it look like it was just taken out of the nusery. I will do all my business with Wilson Bros. now. Thank you so much.———————-Wow!
