The Christmas rose is not a rose at all, but a white flower named Helleborus niger that’s a member of the buttercup family. According to legend, the Christmas rose was discovered by a shepherdess named Madelon. She watched as the Wise Men and shepherds carried gifts for the Christ Child, but she had no gift to give. She began to cry, and an angel appeared to brush away the snow and reveal the special Christmas rose.
No matter where you live or your ties to the beautiful Christmas rose, roses are the perfect gift for any season. Show your love to family and friends this holiday season.
The meaning of blooming red Christmas rose bouquets is love, and perfect to use to celebrate the festive Christmas season! A variety of Christmas plants have been called "Christmas Rose” over time, leading many to wonder about the true Christmas Rose. Each rose flower is steeped in a legend that dates back centuries, and the stories vary by location.
Gifting or receiving roses for Christmas is a thoughtful way to send holiday wishes. Christmas roses are easy to care for, whether it’s a mixed arrangement with assorted Christmas flowers or a bouquet of Merry Christmas roses. If your holiday roses come in a traditional vase, be sure to refrigerate your roses if you plan to leave them without attention for more than a day or so.
Another Christmas rose care tip is to be sure to change out your water regularly, every day or so to promote longevity. To further improve your holiday rose care, remove wilting buds or leaves as they occur. This prevents them from dropping into the water and beginning to rot—reducing the life of your bouquet.
The Helleborus Niger is a large white flower with yellow stamens. It's named the Christmas rose simply because it blooms around Christmas in warmer regions. It may also be called the winter rose or black hellebore. It has dark green, leathery foliage that can push it's way up even through snow. The Christmas rose is an evergreen perennial that grows best in partial shade and makes a beautiful cut flower.
Roses are a great gift for Christmas because nothing spreads joy quite like fresh, beautiful flowers. The smell and vibrance of fresh flowers is sure to lift up spirits and make for a happy holiday!
Red and white roses paired with fresh greenery make for the perfect Christmas arrangement if you want to stick to traditional red and green Christmas colors. For a more sophisticated look, you can choose white roses paired with silver and green accents and a touch of red with holly berries.
