Christmas flowers
are the popular flowers used during the festive season of Christmas. In many nations,
seasonal flowers and plants such as Poinsettia, Christmas cactus, holly, Christmas
rose, ivy, mistletoe, form a major part of traditional Christmas decoration. One
plant called Christmas rose is regarded as a true Christmas flower in certain
parts of the world. Christmas rose (Serissa)
is also known as the "snow rose" or "winter rose."
Originally from tropical regions of Asia, cultivated Serissa often blooms during the winter. Usually, on the occasion
of Christmas Eve, it is traditional for young women in North America to
exchange specially designed Christmas roses with each other resembling their
spirit of fraternity. Source
