BARR’S HELLEBORUS ORIENTALS, OR LENTEN ROSE. 
These are quite distinct from Christmas Roses. The plants are taller, and generally with a bushy 
branched growih, and resemble great floral bouquets at a season when the temperature is too cold for most 
other plants to expand their blossoms ; in colour the flowers range from pure-white to deep plum-purple, with 
the intermediate shades of rose and pink, the petals inside being more or less spotted. The different varieties 
make good showy plants when grown in pots.
