My love was presumably named for a flower. Though they can get quite tall and look for all the world like a tree, the Rose of Sharon is actually a bush. They grow all over Manhattan and I love them. The name is biblical, coming from the Song of Solomon, "I am the lily of the valley and the rose of Sharon".
The are covered for six months of the year with large blossoms that can be either a fair pink or a deeper magenta or a cream color with a magenta center.
They are lovely. Just like The Rose of Sharon Anne Christine Frei Turrentine.
