The Christmas Rose is the common name for a Helleborus Niger, a much loved garden plant which produces a pure white flower that blooms for the Christmas season. Spode first produced the Christmas Rose pattern in 1890 on a special plum pudding dish. The Christmas Rose Open Vegetable Dish 9- 1/2 inch combines snowy white Christmas Rose blossoms entwined with holly sprigs in a Victorian color palette for an elegant holiday table.
