Camellia japonica (Latin: Caméllia japónica) is one of the most famous species of the genus Camellia. The homeland of the Japanese camellia is Japan and southwestern China, it grows wild in Shandong, Taiwan, southern Japan and South Korea at an altitude of 300-1100 meters. It is the official flower symbol of the state of Alabama.
Camellia japonica William Bartlett or "Japanese rose" is a compact cone-shaped shrub with shiny leathery leaves. It blooms from late February to April.
It reaches a height of about 2-3 meters, has soft pink, double flowers with orange stripes, which are one of the first to grow after late winter, adding color during the winter months.
In the wild, flowering occurs between January and March. Flowers appear along the branches, especially near the ends, and have very short stems. They appear either singly or in pairs and are 6–10 centimetres (2.4–3.9 in) across.
All camellias can withstand frosts down to -10 C. They must be planted in a place protected from wind and bright sun. Water regularly, even in a dry winter (not in frosts), camellia does not like drought.

There are about nine greenish bracteoles and sepals. Flowers of wild species have six or seven pink or white petals, each 3–4.5 centimetres (1.2–1.8 in) long and 1.5–2.5 centimetres (0.6–1.0 in) broad; the innermost petals are united at the base for a third of their length. (Cultivated forms often have more petals.) The numerous stamens are 2.5–3.5 centimetres (1.0–1.4 in) long, the outer whorl united at the base for up to 2.5 centimetres (1.0 in). The three-lobed style is about 3 centimetres (1.2 in) long.
