Can anybody help me pleas. Once a Christmas rose has been in a flower pot is the flower pot poisonous once the plant is out of the pot.

No. Cannot see how it would be either.
Thank you Berghill.
you know how it goes "SOMEBODY SAID TO ME CHRISTMAS ROSES WERE POISONOUS". then the mind starts to think.
appreciate the help

Yes, Hellebores are poisonous, if you are silly enough to try eating them, but the poison cannot transfer to a plant pot, even a porous one. And generally speaking, if you are going to re-use the plant pot then you would probably wash it in any case.
Rest easy. And better safe than sorry.
