    Hi
    Please identify this plant. I was told it is a Chinese Rose. The flower petals look waxy. It has been blooming for 2 weeks now. This is the first year that I put it outside, and this year it bloomed.

    Picture is attached.

    Thank you.

    A fully open flower would be more helpful but the leaves and flower bud look like a Hibiscus rosa-sinensis variety. Chinese hibiscus is a tropical species with hundreds of named varieties, perhaps someone on this board knows the name of yours?
