The Fantastically Festive Christmas Rose
By Emma Heaton on 10th November, 2011
Battling through the cold conditions, increased costs on central heating and having to get up in the dark are all things that we hate about the winter months, the days become shorter and the evenings get dark and frosty making you rarely want to leave the house. If there is one thing that we do all appreciate about the winter, it is the beauty that it leaves behind. Frosty scenery, glistening objects and a white blanket of snow everywhere you look creates a distinctive winter picture. Adding flowers to your icy garden scene will make the view out of your garden office window even more idyllic, winter flowers will add elegance and splash of colour in to your bare and frost bitten garden.
Hellebore niger, otherwise known as the Christmas Rose will introduce life in to the garden .The hardy flower can survive the elements and battle through the harshest conditions. They are usually white with green tinged centres, which then ages in to blush pink. The durability of the plant against the conditions and its ability to grow in the darkest months makes it a very valuable flower and a strong asset to any garden. A Christmas Rose will produce flowers from late fall to early spring, making it a reliable plant to have in your garden as it does not get destroyed by the winter frost.
The Helleborus provides welcome flowers during winter and early spring, giving it a reason to claim a prized position in your garden. Try and ensure the plants have some shelter and protection from the strong icy winds that can strike in the bad winters and to protection against being crushed by the heavy snowfall. They can be used to brighten up dark corners of your garden oasis and would look pretty scattered around the border of your garden office. They are ideal for wakening up the garden when the rest of the plant life is still sound asleep for the season, hiding from the cold.
