The Christmas rose, also known as the snow rose or Christmas rose, is hardy. Outdoors, Christmas roses can do almost entirely without winter protection. Only the sensitive roots suffer somewhat from frost. How to overwinter the pretty winter flowers properly.
A few branches are enough to protect the Christmas rose from frost in winter
How to overwinter the Christmas rose
Ideally, the Christmas rose is under deciduous trees and shrubs that shed their leaves in autumn. Just leave the leaves where they are. This is completely sufficient as winter protection for the roots of the snow rose.
In exposed locations, spread a mulch layer of leaves, bark mulch, or grass clippings under the snow rose to protect the roots from frost.
You also prevent the soil from drying out too much in winters with little rainfall. Then you don't have to water more.
tips and tricks
A potted Christmas rose needs extra winter protection. In heavy frost, the plants freeze much faster in the bucket than outdoors. Christmas roses in pots should be overwintered in a sheltered corner or indoors.
