SNOW ROSES – EASY-TO-PLEASE GARDEN BEAUTIES
Snow Roses are crosses between the Christmas Rose and Helleborus species from the Mediterranean. These include the Corsican hellebore (Helleborus argutifolius) and the Balearic or blue-grey hellebore (Helleborus lividus), whose names indicate their provenance. Resistance against severe cold and snow is typical of Christmas Roses, whilst the Corsican and Balearic hellebore provide the Snow Roses from the Helleborus Gold Collection® with the genetic trait to unfold their full potential even in full sun. The vigorous Snow Rose varieties are also very easy to please in terms soil requirements in the garden, as long as they are given enough space to grow.
