Hi. USDA here 9a/9b. I think this is a Hibisucus rosa sinensis, but would be grateful to get that confirmed, and also to get the cultivar name. I hope once again, Dave Garden's members will help me.

Leaves are up to at least 4 1/4" x 5 1/4", alternate, slightly glossy, medium stiff, frequently ovate, sometimes almost orbicular.

Flower gets up to at least 5 1/2" wide. Blooms in 2007, began sometime before Sept. Each bloom lasted a day, to be replaced by a new one elsewhere on the plant.. Color appears pinker in early morning.

Any help in getting the cultivar name will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. I wish everyone much happiness in the new year.
