Random musings on running a private hotel / gîte in Northern France
Me
- Mark In Mayenne
- Mayenne, France
- By a beautiful river valley in North-West France. This blog is about the day-to-day events in running a group gîte in Mayenne. There's a lot of gardening, maintenance, but, I hope, a lot of fun too. Best viewed in widescreen format. This website uses cookies.

Very cheering. Thanks.
What are the ones at the top? And will they grow in East Anglia?
Hi J, they are a species of Hellebore, which includes the Christmas Rose. Christmas roses flower as you would expect, around Christmas, and are usually a pale shade of green/cream.
The ones that come in different colours usually flower a bit later (like now), and you can get various shades of pink, red and white. This plant I bought mail order, it came in a pack of three, and this is the only one that survived.
They like shade, moisture and peaty soils, and you can grow them in East Anglia.
After looking at these.. I went out and bought me four new roses.
