Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Garden, Vol. 44: An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Gardening in All Its Branches; Christmas, 1893
I moved the common Christmas Rose (h. Niger) this year about the middle of March just in the driest time. It was not looking well when I moved it, but since that it has begun to throw up strong growth. Of course, in that case the exposure after taking up was very short, and I resorted to careful shading and watering. I did this chie?y for an experiment in trans plantation. I know one grower of Hellebores who frequently moves his plants. I have no doubt that, on the whole, Christmas Roses do best when let alone, but they want good ground. They are prospering in a wild condition under the trees at Kew.
