The ladies of the Federation of Women's Clubs requested that the Georgia General Assembly look at the Cherokee Rose, as they couldn't decide on a state flower. Even though the flower is from China, it took to the soil of Georgia so well that it can be considered an invasive weed. Therefore on August 18, 1916 the flower was adopted by Joint Resolution No. 42.

Since the Georgia General Assembly was unable to decide on a State Flower, the ladies of the Federation of Women's Clubs submitted the request, and the Cherokee Rose was adopted by Joint Resolution No. 42 on August 18, 1916. Even though the plant is not native to the United States, it took so well to the conditions in Georgia, and is such a pretty, cheerful flower, that it was accepted by one and all.

The Cherokee Rose can grow anywhere in Georgia that is in USDA Zone 7 and has organically rich soil of a pH of 6.6 to 7.0. This would leave out the more alkaline soils of the NW mountains.
