Nature, in all its chromatic splendor, has bestowed upon us the pink rose — a bloom that seems to distill the essence of elegance, gratitude, and affection in its delicate petals. Let’s dive into the details of Pink Roses Meaning that spans epochs, cultures, and stories.
LENTEN ROSES
24.07.2023 - 12:33 / hgic.clemson.edu
Lenten rose is one of the first perennials to flower each new gardening year. The plant’s name comes from its typical spring bloom time in northern climates that coincides with the religious season of Lent. However, in South Carolina, Lenten rose may bloom earlier, often starting in late January. Lenten rose is the common name for hundreds of hybrid crosses of Helleborus species and their cultivars. The flowers of these species start pink, magenta, or white, and then gradually fade to light green. The flowers remain on the plant for several months.
For gardeners who need a plant to use under large deciduous trees, Lenten rose is an excellent choice. These tough perennials thrive in part to full shade and well-drained to dry soils. Lenten roses are mostly deer-resistant and provide a good option for gardeners with dense deer populations.
In the Lowcountry of South Carolina, plant heat-tolerant hybrids of H. orientalis. This species has medium green, sharply pointed leaves, while hybrids like Helleborus ‘Ivory Prince’ or Helleborus x ericsmithii often have thick, bluish-green leaves with rounded lobes. In the Midlands and Upstate, Christmas rose (H. niger) is another good option. This white-flowered species blooms from late fall to spring.
Lenten rose is relatively pest-free except for the leaf disease black spot. The hybrid hellebores, especially Helleborus x ericsmithii, tend to be more tolerant of black spot than H. orientalis. Remove old, diseased leaves in the spring when new growth or flower buds appear. Spray the fungicide Thiomyl once or twice a year to manage black spot during rainy weather.

Roses as Center of Attraction and Attention
Roses can be a center of attraction in a photograph as these local garden subjects show. With the morning sun behind the photographer the intense colour shows through despite some risk of colour burn-out. However, for me it is the petal pattern and form that takes center stage. Roses can also hold your center of attention for both colour and scent in many a garden Photographs with a dark background help with the contrast and emphasise the quality of the rose flower. A shame about the black spot on the lemon sorbet. Is this a hover fly or a randomly attracted flying creature that wants the nectar or to have a rest & bask in the sunshine.
