Hi folks are there any plants or flowers with the name Sharon. I know there is the Rose of Sharon but is there anything else. I wanted to buy my wife something with her namesake on it. Like i said i know about the rose but she is not very keen on roses.

I don't think it is a rose... I call my hibiscus 'rose of sharon'. Someone with more knowledge will be along in a minute.
They're beautiful plants. Get lovely and big in not much time. Especially love the yellow version. Outdoor girl is right - it is the hibiscus family, not a rose.
Alternatively you could splash out on a Sharon Fruit Tree which can be grown in a container.
I will never forget including Hypericum Calycinum ( rose of sharon ) in a planting scheme proposal at garden design college. Our tutor drew a big red ring around it and wrote " nasty little plant" he was right, and I've never used it again.
Yes, there are several different plants known as Rose of Sharon - I hope Shanijo gets the hibiscus and not the hypericum.

I have a large Rose of Sharon which i grew from what was basically a twig.
Its about 6 feet tall now but has never flowered
I did move it into the garden from its container into a lovely sunny spot so fingers crossed this year it will flower for me.
