Thanks Kathleen. I stand educated; the spotting stands corrected.

Hi Allen! Pretty spotting. These are not the Wild Rose though. These are a species or cultivar of Hellebore, which although often called Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose, is not a species of rose at all, but a hellebore. I have several in my garden but none as pretty as this!
