The Camellia Rose is a flowering evergreen shrub that belongs to the tea family. It is native to Asia and known for its large, showy, rose-like blooms that bloom in the winter and early spring. Leaves are dark green and glossy, providing year-round foliage interest. Camellias are prized for their beauty and ease of care, making them popular as ornamental plants in gardens and as indoor potted plants. They prefer moist, well-drained soils and partial shade to full sun. With proper care, Camellia Roses can live for many years and provide seasons of stunning blooms.
Caring for Camellia Rose plants involves:

- Light: Prefers partial to full shade, can tolerate some sun if soil is kept moist.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of 5.0-6.5. Use a mix of loam, peat moss, and sand or perlite.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, acid-forming fertilizer in spring and summer.
- Pruning: Prune after blooming to remove any dead or damaged wood and maintain desired shape.
- Protection: Protect from strong winds and late frosts, which can damage buds and blooms.
