Plot: In a town not so far away and a time not so long ago, baby Rose was left on the porch of Greenwoods Orphanage, where Mrs. Hartley and the children under her tender care become her family. But when tragedy strikes, Rose loses the only home she has ever known and she is abruptly shipped to Irongates—a place that seems as cold and cruel as her previous home was kind. Strict headmaster Mr. Crampton immediately seems to dislike Rose and makes sure she and the other children are punished for any minor infraction of his rules. Rose soon makes friends with Emily, but in spite of her gentle and forgiving nature, some of the children will take any chance they can to get her into trouble. When she learns that every Christmas Mr. Crampton’s generous brother gives an orange to each child, Rose waits in eager anticipation.

A whole different approach
I doubt that most viewers will know anyone other than Edward Herrmann and Nancy Stafford from Christmas Roses. Still it’s a wonderful family film produced it looks like under Mormon auspices.The two are the heads of a pair of orphanages the girl who grows up to be Bailee Michelle Johnson is placed. They couldn’t be more opposite in their approach. Stafford kind of reminds me of Greer Garson when she played Edna Gladney in Blossoms In The Dust. The baby named Rose is just left on the door of her orphanage and she’s just taken no questions asked. In fact Stafford because she came as an infant just regards her as her own.
But in what looks like an influenza epidemic many of the kids died and so does Stafford. The survivors are either adopted or scattered to other orphanages. And Johnson comes under the care of Edward Herrmann, a most strict man who is all about the rules.
Johnson who took her life lessons from Stafford turns out to be tougher than you would think. She not only takes a lot of buffeting, but she also softens a few hearts as well.
I agree with the other reviewer in that Christmas Oranges even under religious auspices never gets preachy. It’s a nice family film and should be seen.
Could’ve been good, but poorly made
Overall, the “feel-good” aspect of the movie will appeal to less picky viewers, but I found the cringey acting and the poor pacing of the plot distracting. The climax of the film was done well, but the resolution as a whole felt very forced and the redemption of the villain undeserved.
