The so-called 'Christmas Rose' is in fact a hellebore, true roses being summer flowers of course. But the picture above was taken today in our front garden, a very lovely rose, quite remarkable for Christmas. We have a number of other flowers on our roses, as we have had very little frost up here as yet, but the others are a bit battered by wind and rain, while this one, sheltered against a wall, seems to have avoided that. We do have some hellebores as well, by the way - though ours are not yet in flower!
