Once I got a few seeds of confederate rose. I thought it must be kind of rose variety, but it turned out to be a hibiscus. With my further study, I find there are some other plants which have no relations with roses have a rose name. Here are a few more: primrose, moss rose, desert rose, rose of Sharon and lenten rose. I start this thread aiming to arise beginners' attention. Do not be deceived by the rose name. Maybe it is some plant else. And I hope more 'fake roses' will be added here.
