Happy Holidays back to you.
And a rose at Christmas? Where do you have to be in this world to find them? Certainly not where I am!
But there was no way to get any snow photos for this year's Christmas, either, as it is just grey and dreary. Weatherwise, that is! Only weatherwise

Well, it's really a November rose, took the photo a month ago -- backlogged on processing. But since you mention it, November roses haven't been that uncommon here in St. Louis. However, in recent years we've experienced very unusual weather and now December roses are becoming common. Our growing season has shifted about three weeks (climate change). Here's a rosebud that I photographed 3 days before Xmas and although it shows some signs of being nipped by frost, I expect it will bloom still.
