I ordered 25 dogwood seedlings & planted those last Spring ($35 I think)
About 1/2 died & the company is sending me replacements this Spring
I like trying to grow different things, some from seed, some not
Friend shave commented on the trees when they bloom, so thought I'd give it a try

I have a problem w/Rose of Sharon's coming up like weeds
Yeah, I have those coming up all over as well.

Dogwoods are difficult to transplant without killing them. Try sweating them the next time you plant them (you'll have to look up directions for that). I alternate my redbuds and dogwoods so that I get the mixed purple and white when they bloom. It's very striking.
