Something to think about.

   The plant known as The Rose of Sharon in the Bible is probably not a true rose, like the one exchanged on Valentine’s day. There has been many suggests of what the biblical Rose of Sharon may be including a kind of crocus, Tulipa montana, "a bright red tulip-like flower", Tulipa agenensis, the Sharon tulip, or the Lilium candidum, more commonly known as the Madonna lily. The problem come the Hebrew word habaselet as used in Song of Solomon 2:1 and Isaiah 35:1. The word was translated as "rose" however with the  imperfect understanding of the Hebrew used in this section of the Bible, paired with numerous misprints and mistranslations over the centuries that translating could be wrong.
