Flowering early in the new year Camellia rosiflora (Camellia rosaeflora) was originally described in 1858 from a specimen growing at Kew, in London, which is the location of this plant. These evergreen shrubs thrive in an acidic, well-drained soil with consistent moisture in partially shaded locations, ideally with protection from strong winds.
