Holy Cow! I have never seen so many bugs on one plant. I agree with spraying with a hose. You can also fill a spray bottle with soapy water.

Personally, I use an insecticid spray that kills on contact, called Malathion. I use it for everything. I get aphids on my roses in the spring as the new growth develops.

purpleinhopp, you didn't specify what kind of Hibiscus since there are tropical and hardy cultivars. The hardy types H. moscheutos is hardy here in Wyoming. I have 3 different colors in my yard all grown from seed.
