Note: Winter roses are a common name for hellebores, a genus of evergreen perennial plants in the buttercup family that are prized for their ability to bloom in late winter to early spring. Also known as Christmas roses and Lenten roses, they are a low-maintenance choice for gardens, offering colors from white to pink, purple, and near-black, and they are tolerant of shade. Google
