Insights
A snow rose combines the snow hardiness of a Christmas rose with the heritage of a Mediterranean hellebore, allowing it a greater degree of sun tolerance. It grows quickly, flowers early and is an easy-care perennial that, if it enjoys its position, should thrive in the garden for decades.
