My son had one in zone 7 with 2 trunks and taller than the roof edge..he lost his. It froze and went to mush, so hardy to zones 10 and 11 is inaccurate. The blooms make this a plant worth bringing in every winter. It roots readily so if it needs to be pruned back the cuttings readily root. Mine is now 4 foot tall and should bloom next summer..I can hardly wait. Elaine in Texas

My Miami Rose was labeled as such and on comparing pinks, there are so many that are similar that it could easily be confused with another variety. Be sure to compare your blossoms with the ones here, make sure it's the same, deep rose with yellow center, red stems. This is a great addition to my landscaping and grows great. It comes out later than some of my varieties, but boy when it does, it's beautiful.
This plumeria may also be the local variety called Lauderdale Lilac in which case is a local tree found in many parts of South Florida....Read Morer />
This plant has been growing in South Florida for more then 50 years so the info about this plumeria being hybridized by Stokes is incorrect!
One of the most prolific plumerias around will bloom all year round in warm areas and will come out of dormancy before any plumeria.
Please see my photo of a huge tree damaged by Hurricane Wilma.
As you will see the size of the tree indicates a tree growing much longer then 1997 when it was supposedly hybridized.

This flower has a light fragrance of coconut/suntan lotion, with a floral undertone.
