Description
Winter flowers are worth making room for! Particularly when 'Christmas Carol' produces so many and keeps the display going through the festive season and beyond!
Bred for more blooms and a longer flowering season, this Christmas rose opens an abundance of snowy-white, bowl-shaped flowers. As they mature, soft pink shades develop, adding another layer of interest against the thick, dark-green leaves.
Give it a spot in a patio pot or beside a well-used path, where those lovely flowers can brighten everyday trips into the garden. It is equally at home bringing winter interest to a shadier border, with fresh blooms to look forward to year after year.
For a festive display indoors, place the nursery pot inside a decorative container and let the flowers take centre stage on the Christmas table. Keep its visit indoors brief, in a cool, bright position away from radiators, before moving it outside.
That lasting garden appeal makes ‘Christmas Carol’ much more than a decoration for December. Easy to grow in a suitable position, it offers the pleasure of watching those pale flowers appear again when much of the garden is resting.
Important: Harmful if eaten. Wear gloves when handling, as the sap may irritate skin.
Top Tips
Remove the old leaves in late autumn or early winter as the flower buds emerge so that the flowers can be seen.
Care Information
- Plant in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade and Provide shelter from strong, cold winds.
- Plants are not happy if left in very dry or waterlogged soil so incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter into the planting hole along with some horticultural grit if the soil is heavy.
- Water regularly during dry spells and mulch annually with leaf mould, chipped bark or other organic matter in autumn.
