Hibiscus: Moorehaven, 1 by tropicalaria

I don't know where I got this plant (for all I know it was from someone here on DG!) but I've been waiting for it to bloom to find out what it was. I can't find anything searching for it. The only thing on the tag (hand written, but not by me) is "Hibiscus Moorehaven". It had a lot of buds earlier this year, but dropped them when it got so hot.

Somehow I had it in my head that this was a tropical hibiscus, partly due to the size and shape of the leaves and stem, but the bloom strongly suggests a type of hardy. Also, I can't figure out why there are spots on all of the leaves. I think it may just be part of the variety, since nothing I do or change seems to prevent them from appearing on the new foliage.
