Answer
Hi Mohammad,
Thanx for your question.  Are you talking about a hardy hibisucs (Hibiscus moscheutos) or the tropical hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)?

I don't think H. moscheutos can be successfully grown in Egypt because it has a cold/dormancy requirement.

H. rosa-sinensis - here are some links that might be of interest to you.

Here are some rooting hormones you can purchase on line if you don't have supplies near where you  live.
