The first thing that came to mind was that Rose could be from the Christmas Rose and not a typical rose? So the Christmas theme is still present, technically
I think this sibling set is very cute and I don't think there's anything wrong with themeing siblings, especially when they get older and break away from their family a bit for their own lives, the theme only really lasts throughout childhood and has little to no impact on adulthood

I would have preferred Ivy, Rose and Hazel. Keeps the botanical theme without the obvious "one is not like the other" element, but it's not a bad set.
I usually dislike themed names (Holly and Ivy feel too christmassy for me) but Rose kind of balances it out. It does stand out not ending in -y but thats not necessarily a bad thing. I like the 3 names together
I like Ivy and Rose, but dislike Holly.
There is the Christmas Rose (Helleborus)
I love the names. I think they go together, but sound different from each other. I prefer them to rhyming names.
I quite like them! I didn't know of the Christmas song.
Rose is not exactly Christmassy, but of the three, it's by far the best in my opinion.
I like all three names but not together as siblings. It's a bit too much. Using them as middle names would be a nice way to link them.
I like all those names by themselves, but together as a set of triplets they're way too cutesy. I think there's a Christmas story or movie called "Holly and Ivy" too.
Distant memory of a traditional song:
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
The rising of the sun
and the running of the deer,
the playing of the merry organ,
sweet singing in the choir. (Refrain)
The holly bears a blossom,
white as the lily flower,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
to be our sweet Saviour.
Refrain
The holly bears a berry,
as red as any blood,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sinners good.
Refrain
It goes on, but you get the idea!

I think they’re cute! They sound good together and they aren’t too matchy or cutesy. It’s better than a pairing like Rose, Daisy and Violet for example, which to me would be too matchy.
Cringe, especially with the Holly and Ivy pairing.
I assumed it was because of the song.
I immediately thought of Christmas, and I don’t even celebrate it.
