Lynn, they are of the same family. Mallow and cotton.

I took one of my confederate rose blooms to Fanick's garden center and was told it's actually a cotton rose and they showed me the confederate rose which is a single bloomer. That's okay - I love it any way!

Gorgeous! Thank you for the images. I love Blue Dawn that morning glory and this year I received 2 rooted cutting of Conf. Rose. What a fast grower. Just started blooming here and it's about 6 ft tall. Now I see where she's going....c
