Somewhere in between Roses and Gardenias. Several Hawaiian Hibiscus have a scent, the Kaua'i species is the most fragrant.

Carol is among the best of folks! Several of my plants came from Rozettes.

Did you take the yellow Hibiscus flower photo on Kaua'i? It looks like Hibiscus calyphyllus of Africa. It was introduced very early on Kaua'i, and Western botanists thought it was native and incorrectly dubbed it, Hibiscus rockii.

Here is a Hibiscus from my Island, Hibiscus kokio, Koki'o 'Ula'ula. It is faintly scented. The variety is found on Hawai'i and Maui Islands.
