Origin & Breeding History: 'SHIMRR38' originated from a cross conducted by the breeder, Kyung-Ku Shim, in Suwon, South Korea. The cross was made in July 2001 between the Hibiscus syriacus variety 'SKK 14-1-15', as the female parent, and the Hibiscus variety 'Songam', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'SHIMRR38' was selected in August 2003 for its bloom and flower colour. 'SHIMRR38' was first asexually propagated by softwood cuttings and grafting in March 2004 in Suwon, South Korea.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial of 'SHIMRR38' was conducted in an outdoor irrigated container trial during the spring and summer of 2018, at BioFlora Inc., in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 12 shrubs each of the candidate and reference variety. All shrubs were grown from 5.7 cm liners, planted into 9 litre containers on July 19, 2017. The plants were overwintered in an un-heated polyhouse. The observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on July 11, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
