I think the bottom flower is rose of Sharon.

Rose of Sharon is of the hibiscus family and is usually a single row of petals.
And. The red one looks like it might be a Blaze rose. Does it smell good?

Easy! But I dont think the one is a rose of Sharon. Here they dont bloom this early, and the leaves look like a regular rose. 🌹

(28,289 posts)7. I also remember something about a yellow rose having some significance or meaning
but it escapes me now. Perhaps related to Memorial Day?
