It also known as the Rose of Winter, ladies and gentlemen, the Camellia Japonica!
Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna an English Evangelical Protestant wrote a poem about The White Camellia Japonica
Thou beauteous child of purity and grace, What element could yield so fair a birth? Defilement bore me - my abiding place Was mid the foul clods of polluted earth. But light looked on me from a holier sphere, To draw me heavenward - then I rose and shone; And can I vainly to thine eye appear, Thou dust-born gazer? make the type thine own. From thy dark dwelling look thou forth, and see The purer beams that brings a lovelier change for thee.
