The Wit? Wonder Flower 
When Plant Becomes Established, 
Blooms Outdoors 
from October to March! 
Roses in winter! Not real roses, of course, but 
the much-prized Christmas Rose. Actually 
blooms in late fall, at Christmas and until spring. 
This variety (Helleborus niger altifolius) is superior 
to H. niger. Grown by J & P from divisions of 
flowering plants, it will become established 
quickly and will bloom in the fall. 
Blooms All Winter on Mild Days 
Even when there is snow on the ground, it takes 
only a couple of mild days for this miraculous 
plant to produce its glacier-white blooms. The 
lovely 5-petaled flowers are 2 to 3 in. across, with 
a center of yellow stamens. Strong 6 to 8-in. 
stems hold blooms above the low, leathery foliage. 
Beautiful Masses for Low Plantings 
Suitable for a protected place in front of ever- 
greens or shrubs because of its rich low foliage 
and unusual flowers when nothing else is bloom- 
ing. Set where it is partially shaded in summer 
but receives winter sun, the Christmas Rose will 
form a broad low mass of handsome green. Once 
established, it should not be moved.

Blooming in Winter! 
The Story of the Christmas Rose 
Flowers sprang up from the tears of a 
little shepherdess who wept because she 
had no gift to offer the new-born Christ 
Child. As she knelt in adoration at the 
crib, a delicate pink appeared in the 
center of each flower where His blessed 
hand touched it. And so was born a 
flower that had never existed before. 
To this day the Christmas Rose blooms 
most abundantly at Christmas Time. 
... THE SMALLEST OF ALL THE ROSES! 
Something unusual, which will make your garden intriguing and give 
you many hours of personal satisfaction. Rosedom’s most intimate 
flower ... a thimble or tiny vial will hold a bouquet of 6 or more.
