The Christmas rose is usually hardy in the field and even blooms in snow
Christmas roses are hardy only at a favorable location
The Christmas rose is blooming in the middle of winter. It tolerates frost so well - even without additional winter protection. At rougher locations or when keeping in the bucket, you should provide light protection so that the flower also called Christmas rose develops early flowers.
Hibernate the winter hardy snow rose in the field
The low temperatures are less of a problem for Schneerose than excessive drying of the soil. This can be a problem in low-rain winters.
It is best to plant the Schneerose in a favorable location in a more sheltered location. Ideal is a location under trees and shrubs that throw off leaves in the fall.
Just leave the leaves lying. They are a natural winter protection and at the same time prevent too much drying out of the earth.
Hibernate in harsh locations
If the wind blows unhindered over the surface, the winter hardy Christmas rose can freeze too. Provide winter protection by using mulch materials
spread as a blanket around the Christmas rose.
The Christmas rose in the tub needs more winter protection
When taking care of the tub, even the hardy Christmas rose always needs winter protection. In the pot, the earth cools much more than in the field.
Place the pot on a polystyrene plate to protect the snow from below. A good location is a sheltered corner on the terrace. In addition, wrap the Christmas rose with foil or fleece from the hardware store, if the place is very draughty.
Do not let the earth dry out completely. Always water when the upper part has dried out. Do not fertilize the Christmas rose in the pot in winter.
Winter christmas in the house over winter
If necessary, the Christmas rose can also be hibernated in the house.
It should then be as cool and light as possible, but not sunny. Make sure that the earth does not dry out completely.
With a little luck, even older Christmas roses will bloom around Christmas time.
Tips & Tricks
Their surname Christmas rose owes the Christmas rose of the bloom, which is possible in the house around the Christmas time. Previously, the plants were specially cultivated for a flowering time for Christmas.
