The flowers look similar but the plants are very different. The Rose of Sharon is a bush about 10 feet tall. The hibiscus is a much smaller plant with much larger flowers. That's just in South Carolina, though. I'm sure they are related. And in South Carolina, Sharon is always pronounced with a long a - Shayron. I think it's from the Bible.
