Yes, certain plant species can grow in cold winters. Other areas closer to the equator are more temperature all year long, so plants can continually grow there.

What plants grow in the winter?

Most slow down, a bit like hibernating (see Yahoo answers to the same question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080202020452AA189mU). Trees that don't lose their leaves can continue to photosynthesise in winter. Some trees flower in winter and others grow berries, so these ones are obviously still active above ground. All of them are active below ground - their roots continue to grow. (See this article: http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/nov/28/tree-roots-grow-during-winter/)
