Notes
'Ice White' rose (Rosa 'Ice White') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Samuel Darragh bred it. White blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Thorns cover the upright stems, so plant it where you will not brush against it.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Nelly Moser clematis, and Patriot hosta.
