The Confederate rose of changing rose as some call it is not a rose actually. The botanical name is Hibiscus Mutabilis, also known as Dixie rosemallow, or the cotton rosemallow. It belongs to the mallow family like the hibiscus.
Its a tall shrub loved for its abundant showy blooms. It is a miracle of nature that the blooms change color throughout the day. In the mornings the blooms are white, the purest white with just the light yellow pollen showing through the white petals.
Around mid morning you see the color change from a pastel pink to deeper shades of pink until sunset. The plants have bunches of flowers blooming on them in season. They have thick woody trunks and beautify leaves. They are fast growing and can be propagated through cuttings.
The main picture is taken in the evening.

That’s so amazing! I didn’t know this changing rose. It must be really fantastic to look at the flowers throughout the whole day. 🙂
It looks beautiful at any time
I think so too. I enjoy these flowers so much.
Looks amazing lovely flower…
This flower is common here and is known by some other name which I now forget.
It is a very popular shrub because of its stunning flowers.
Beautiful in both photos, love the bloom and the name.
Thanks Carol , i am glad you like it.
Some types of hibiscus also grow in our country, but I don’t know if this … it must be really interesting that it changes color during the day
There are pink mutipetal Hibiscus but they don’t change colors. I love the way the hibiscus Mutablis changes colors.
That must be really interesting, dear friend
