HELLEBORUS - Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose 
There are two distinct types, one, Christmas Rose, flowering in late 
winter, and the other, Lenten Rose, in spring. Both are valuable for 
garden decoration because of their flowering during the dull period of 
the year. 
Culture. Require to be grown in a cool, moist, shady position, such as 
under the shade of trees or among ferns. The ideal soil is a retentive 
loam, freely mixed with leaf mold and well-rotted manure. As Helleborus 
are impatient of disturbance at the roots it is advisable to select a 
position for them where they will not be required to be disturbed for 
many years. Planting may be done in fall or spring, 12 inches apart. 
Each autumn add a top dressing of leaf mold and well-rotted manure, 
and let it lie on the surface. In summer give plenty of water.
