Please ID This Plant

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.

Rosa sinensis "Cairo"

Thanks a lot Dave67 for your quick response and interest. The pictures on your hyperlink sure look like mine. Thanks again

Thank you very much Eclipse. That was a fast respone and I appreciate your help. Dave67's above hyperlink appears to agree with your Cairo call. I'm going to go with that. Thanks again.

I'm closing this thread. Thanks to Dave67 and Eclipse, I am certain this is a Rosa sinensis Cairo 'Apricot' Hibiscus. Thanks also to Dave's Garden..
