Plant received with very beautiful pink flowers, matching the photo. However, from the second year onwards, the flowers have changed colour and are no longer pink but pale green in the centre, turning to burgundy at the edges. I find its flowering quite lacklustre... It also blooms much later, with buds appearing in January but taking a month to finally open, at the end of February, despite a sunny and warm February. Disappointed with the price/satisfaction ratio. I have the impression that all hellebores have dull greenish flowering, it's probably not a problem specific to this variety.

Description

The Hellebore Ice 'N' Roses Rose is a Christmas rose obtained in Germany and introduced to the market in 2017. This particularly robust hybrid combines all the qualities of its ancestors, including Mediterranean hellebores (from Corsica and the Balearic Islands), Christmas rose (H.niger), and Lenten rose (H.orientalis). The result is a plant that is highly resistant to cold, heat, and rather dry soils in summer, offering a very long flowering period between December and April, in the form of large beautifully coloured flowers. This sensational variety produces a quantity of large pale pink flowers edged with a deeper shade of pink, carried by compact stems above very beautiful, strongly toothed, dark, and leathery foliage. This hellebore will live for many years in the garden, in all our climates.

 

Hellebores belong to the Ranunculaceae family. Helleborus x glandorfensis Ice 'N' Roses® is a complex horticultural hybrid belonging to a series of Christmas roses developed in Germany, after many years of research and drastic selection. The flowers of Ice n'Roses hellebores come in 3 colours: red, pink, and white.

'Ice 'N' Roses Pink (Rose) is a sturdy perennial plant with remarkable longevity, fairly rapid growth, and vigorous vegetation, but sterile; its reproduction will only be possible, and delicate, through division of clumps. It has a bushy habit, with a mature plant reaching a minimum height of 30cm (12in) and a spread of 50cm (20in). From December to March-April, brownish stems appear, not very tall, carrying pink buds that open into flowers with 5 petals in two shades of pink, 6-7cm (2-3in) wide, with beautiful yellow stamens in their centre. The petals are almost white in the centre, washed with a slightly deeper pink on the periphery. The evergreen foliage is composed of quite leathery leaves, 10 to 30cm (4 to 12in) long, carried by brownish petioles. They are divided into 5 to 7 ovate or lanceolate segments, strongly toothed, with a satin dark green colour. This Hellebore is hardy down to -20°C and tolerates a wide range of soils, whether they are limestone or clayey, humiferous or sandy, constantly moist or even dry in summer.

 

This quite revolutionary hellebore is full of qualities and should thrive in all our gardens, from north to south. From the first year, many flowers already appear on the plants. New flowers constantly form, creating a beautiful contrast between blooming and faded flowers. These flowers can be perfectly used in bouquets. It is also a good ground cover for partially shaded areas of the garden. Use hellebores like elements of an ancient tapestry, mixing them with brightly coloured woodland plants. They are well highlighted when planted near small evergreen bushes and under conifers (especially on windy sites). Surround them with primroses, wood anemones, Corydalis, Dicentras, cardamines, or spring-flowering bulbs and snowdrops. You can also accompany them with ferns and shade-loving irises to create a beautiful contrast a little later in the season. They can also be planted in groups, like a bouquet, near the entrance of the house, in a shaded position, to enjoy their early flowering up close. They are suitable for borders, flower beds, and containers... Over time, the flowers of the Hellebore do not fade like the majority of other flowers but dry up.

Planting and care

The HGC Ice 'N' Roses Hellebore is not demanding on the nature of the soil: it tolerates limestone well and fairly dry soils in summer, as well as clayey and cool soils. However, it particularly appreciates rich soils, rather heavy and well-worked. Plant it in partial clear shade in fertile soil, enriched with leaf compost, kept moist to help it establish. Incorporate good compost at planting. Hellebores do not like stagnant water that can cause its roots to rot. Planting under the clear shade of large leafy trees is perfect. These are easy-to-live plants but should not be stressed or disturbed. These perennials also have a reputation for being homebodies: once well established, they do not like to be transplanted. Young plants may take 2 to 3 years to flower, sometimes longer, but afterwards, there will be no more problems. Over the weeks, their colour darkens but they do not wilt like most flowers, they rather dry up.

On a balcony or terrace, plant them in pots 4 to 5 times larger than them, as they need space to develop their root system. Very hardy, most hellebores tolerate negative temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) without suffering, allowing them to adapt to almost all regions.
