Hey Lucy, I know nothing about Rock Rose.
It's a pretty flower.
Just hoping you have a great day!

Hey Lucy, very pretty. As for weather, high predicted today to be 85. I can certainly handle that! Low possibility of severe weather (thunderstorms or tornadoes) so I might vote for Colorado as having the perfect weather, at least today. Good morning!!

I rarely catch mine when in bloom. My Rock Rose flowers close up fast. Mine also get very leggy. I don't know if it's the variety or maybe the growing conditions. It's a pretty little flower. Looks a bit like a little hibiscus.

Lucy - Your rock rose looks great. I had three that did beautifully until a couple weeks ago and they just suddenly declined and now are gone. They weren't neglected. Can't figure it out except that they are a short-lived perennial.

We are getting rain here right now. With record drought and heat this year in San Antonio, rain is perfect weather!

From reading the responses...I better go learn a bit more about Rock Roses. This one has very nice branching! I sure hope it will not die :-( Especially since I moved it to a new location yesterday. Cross my fingers..hope it not to die lol

This morning it was hilarious! It sprinkled and I was watering. Glad I continued because it really were only a few sprinkles. Not even enough to cool me off.

Ok I just did a little search. Looks like mine is a Texas Rock Rose and is drought tolerant. Likes not to much watering and can be trimmed back all season long to have it grow out more bushy instead of leggy. They are hardy for your zone rock oak deer and I am not sure about my zone but I am sure if I mulch, it would come back also. But had enough search for this one for now lol

Is that one also called a Confederate Rose?
Is there something special one needs to do to get it to bloom?

Confederate Rose is Hibiscus mutabilis
