Usha di I am of the same opinion as H S ji. There is no species like *Hibiscus Rosa chinensis*. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-27801139 There is species named *Hibiscus Rosa sinensis*. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=Hibiscus+rosa-sinensis
*Rosa chinensis* is a valid species but it belongs to family Rosaceae. I request Gurcharan ji, Tanay or Pankaj to comment on this; so that the doubts will get cleared and we will start using the correct name henceforth even if both names are accepted.
