ICE N ROSES® BENNOTTA LENTEN ROSE
Helleborus x iburgensis 'COSEH 6600' (marketed as HGC Ice N' Roses® Bennotta, PP32997) is an interspecific hybrid snow rose bred by Josef Heuger to deliver vivid, saturated color during the dead of winter. Carrying large, saucer-shaped blooms outward and upward above the foliage, it produces an abundance of rich raspberry-magenta to deep wine-red sepals centered around a bright boss of pale-yellow stamens. Flowering begins as early as December or January and persists well into spring, with the sterile sepals holding their deep crimson tones as they age rather than fading out.
In the landscape, 'Bennotta' develops into a robust, uniform mound of leathery, dark green evergreen foliage reaching roughly 15-18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Hardy across USDA Zones 5 through 9, it thrives in partial to full shade in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil, while also tolerating sunnier exposures than traditional Lenten roses when given adequate moisture. Because all plant tissues contain toxic cardiac glycosides and ranunculin, it is reliably deer and rabbit-resistant, requiring only the removal of weathered leaves in late winter to showcase emerging buds in woodland borders, shaded foundations, and cool-season containers.
