The '''Korean hibiscus''' ''(Hibiscus syriacus chinensis)'' is one of the common [[flower]]ing [[shrub]]s found in [[garden]]s, a [[species]] of ''[[Hibiscus]]''. [[Common name]]s for the same plant include '''Rose of Sharon'''<ref name=GRIN>{{cite web|url=http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?19094|title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy|access-date=2013-03-28|archive-date=2011-12-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111221204237/http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?19094|url-status=dead}}</ref> (but it is not a [[rose]]), '''Rose mallow''', '''Shrub-althaea''',<ref name=GRIN/> '''Syrian hibiscus''',<ref name=GRIN/> '''Syrian ketmia''',<ref name=GRIN/> and '''St Joseph's rod'''.

The part of the name "syriacus" seems to say that the origin of this [[plant]] is from [[Syria]], but the exact origin is so far unknown. Historically it was grown in ancient China and then it became a popular plant in [[Korea]]. Today the flowers are national symbols of Korea. In Japan, the flowers are often shown at [[Japanese tea ceremony|tea ceremonies]] for decoration.

There are many variations of flowers in gardens, because gardeners of the past were able to find different colors and shapes of flowers, and grow their seeds.

''Hibiscus syriacus'' has been grown as a garden shrub in Korea since time immemorial; its leaves were brewed into an [[herbal tea]] and its flowers eaten.

''Hibiscus syriacus chinensis'', also known as the '''Korean rose''', is overall the national flower of the [[South Korea]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=75126|title = Korea.net}}</ref> The flower appears in national [[Emblem of South Korea|emblem]]s, and Korea is compared poetically to the flower in the [[Aegukga|South Korean national anthem]].<ref>{{cite web| url-status = live| archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/cmtjuG5nPgc| archive-date = 2021-12-05| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmtjuG5nPgc| title = KBS 1 - Sign On - 2018 (HD) | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The flower's name in [[Korean language|Korean]] is ''mugunghwa'' ([[Hangul]]: 무궁화; [[Hanja]]: 無窮花) or ''mokkeunhwa'' ([[Hangul]]: 목근화; [[Hanja]]: 木槿花). The flower's symbolic significance stems from the Korean word ''mugung'', which means "eternity" or "inexhaustible abundance". Various state [[Emblem of South Korea|emblems of South Korea]] contain ''Hibiscus syriacus''; it is generally considered by South Koreans to be a traditional symbol of the [[Koreans|Korean people]] and [[Korean Culture|culture]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Korean rose|date=8 May 2018|url=http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2018/05/625_248611.html}}</ref>
