This gorgeous camellia is a favorite snack of our deer herd. I have been fencing it in and trimming it up to protect it.
New blooms appear for weeks through February and March. The flowers have perfect symmetry during all stages of blooming.
White by the Gate is one of my two Camellia “winter roses.”

My sister’s is too. Let’s hope for a dusting of snow and no ice.

I will take partial credit for the form although the deer have done a lot of the trimming.
They love the taste of this camellia more than my others.
They also have a favorite azalea that must stay in protective custody.
