The Helleborus niger 'Christmas Rose' is a hardy perennial with large, white, flat-faced flowers held above low-growing, leathery dark-green foliage. Bringing welcome colour to the garden through autumn and winter, it's a distinctive perennial that comes back year after year.
Christmas Roses can be planted in garden borders or patio pots and grown in sun or partial shade. Their compact growth and winter flowers make them particularly attractive near paths, entrances and other spots where they can be enjoyed during the colder months.
- Winter interest: large white flowers bring colour to the garden during the colder months
- Dark green foliage: leathery, low-growing leaves provide an attractive backdrop
- Hardy perennial: returns year after year
- Borders or patio pots: suitable for planting directly in the garden or growing in containers
- Choose 9cm or 13cm pots: select the size that suits your planting plans
Good drainage is particularly important, so avoid planting where the roots will sit in persistently wet or compacted soil.
As this is a natural product, each plant is individual and may vary in size, shape and number of buds or flowers.

Watering Water deeply after planting and keep the root zone consistently moist while the rose establishes. Once established, water thoroughly during dry spells, directing water to the base rather than over the foliage. Container-grown roses dry out faster and should be checked regularly in warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
