Christmas rose
December flowering plant
Christmas rose is a flowering plant that blooms in winter, often around Christmas in mild climates.
Despite the name, it's not a rose but a hellebore, with white or pinkish flowers that appear when little else is blooming: The Christmas roses were already up in the garden.
