The Rosa × odorata is widely cultivated, and is notable for the fact that the blooms change colour from yellow to pink. Growing to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall and broad, it is a lax, thornless shrub. It prefers an open position in full sun.
You'll want to water your hibiscus mutabilis tree or shrub freely during its growing season, but water sparingly in the winter months. These plants are considered drought tolerant.
The hibiscus mutabilis will grow best when exposed to full sun, but part shade can also be tolerated.
This low-maintenance plant will grow in average, medium, and well-drained soils, however, it does prefer loamy types that are rich in organic matter. It will grow best in neutral or slightly acidic soil.
You’ll want to prune this plant in the winter after it has bloomed. It can tolerate severe pruning—in fact, doing so will actually help rejuvenate leggy plants. Overall, minimal pruning is required.
The hibiscus mutabilis is not a particularly cold-hardy plant; it can tolerate short periods with temperatures falling to about 23 degrees Fahrenheit when fully dormant.
