Description
At only 3 feet tall and equally as wide when 10 years old, ‘Winter’s Rose’ is a true miniature and one of the smallest growing of the dwarf Camellia varieties we offer. Its smaller stature is perfectly suited for small spaces, beds and borders, patios, containers, and courtyards. As with other Dr. Ackerman selections, Winter’s Rose has demonstrated exceptional cold hardiness as far north as USDA Zone 6a. Its fully double shell-pink flowers bloom profusely over a 6 week period of time during the months of October, November and December, depending on the location. The semi-glossy, deep green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the abundance of delightful flowers which are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase.
Note: Winter’s Rose Camellia may grow a little taller and wider over time however with minimal pruning it can be easily maintained at 3 feet or under in height.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, the Winter’s Rose Dwarf Camellia is ideal for use as an accent, grouping, or hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Also perfect for lining paths and walkways and in pots, planters and other containers that can be brought indoors where this plant isn’t reliably winter hardy above USDA Zone 6b. Find Your Zone. A fine addition to winter gardens, pink theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.
Suggested Spacing: 2.2.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
