Are you already thinking about the table decorations for Christmas Eve? A Christmas decoration with white Christmas roses and green moss looks fresh and modern and can be easily combined with gold accents.
This is how the Christmas rose is wrapped in moss
For the Christmas decoration with Christmas roses you need:
- Christmas rose in a pot
- Moosplatten
- Floristendraht
- Decorative snow
- Stumpenkerzen
- Different cones
- Scissors
- Decorative tray
Here's how:
1. The first thing you need to do is carefully pull the Christmas rose ball out of the plastic pot.
2. Lay the moss flat on the table and place the Christmas rose so that the moss covers the clump of soil. If the moss plate is too dry, you can moisten it with a sprayer beforehand to achieve better flexibility.
3. Secure the moss around the soil ball by making several wraps with the florist's wire. Leave the beginning of the wire as long as possible.
4. Wrap the wire around the moss several times. When you are happy with the shape, knot the two ends of the wire and cut off the excess.
5. If necessary, trim the moss with scissors.
To showcase the Christmas rose, place the moss ball on a tray. Place the pillar candles next to them and distribute the cones on them. Sprinkle everything generously with artificial snow and you're done! Always make sure that twigs and pine cones are far enough away from the candle flame.
How do you make this decoration with Christmas roses last?
It may seem difficult to water a moss-wrapped plant, but it is actually very easy. It is watered by dipping every 5 days. Fill a bowl with water and place the ball in it. After about 10 minutes the earth will be soaked with water. After removing the moss ball from the water, let it drain overnight. This way the moss stays nice and green.

Decorate the Christmas rose in the glass
A Christmas rose looks very elegant in a glass vase. To make it easier to supply the plant with water, you can simply place it and the pot in the glass. You simply have to adjust the size of the vase to the diameter of the pot. Cover the Christmas rose plant pot with moss and wrap the whole thing with green wrapping wire. When you're done, twist the two ends together and hide them in the moss. Place the Christmas rose wrapped in moss in the glass and possibly cover the top of the pot with moss. You can create a great winter effect with decorative snow.
Christmas decoration with Christmas roses in a bowl
Perhaps the easiest way to create a Christmas decoration with Christmas roses is to present the flowers in a deep ceramic bowl. If it is large enough, hyacinth bulbs are also ideal as a companion to the Christmas rose. In addition, the soil can be covered with moss so that the moisture lasts longer.
To give the DIY decoration a Christmas touch, add some decorative elements such as Christmas tree balls, poinsettias, pine cones, pine branches and cinnamon sticks. With a chain of lights or in a group with tea lights, the whole thing looks even more magical.

Last but not least, we would like to give you a little care tip for the Christmas rose. The Christmas rose feels comfortable at temperatures up to 20 degrees. However, you can extend the flowering period by moving it to a cooler place at night. Otherwise, a bright, cool window seat is the ideal location for the pretty perennial. In early spring, i.e. in February or mid-March, you can plant the Christmas rose outside in the garden or in a larger pot on the balcony.
