Christmas rose
The meaning of the Christmas rose
Peace and hope on the coldest days.
The Christmas rose blooms when almost nothing else does: around Christmas, sometimes right through the snow. That's why it stands for peace and hope on the coldest days. It isn't a true rose, but a relative of the ranunculus and the buttercup.
