Notes
'Polar Express' rose (Rosa 'Polar Express') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. White, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer and attract bees. Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2015. The upright habit and dark green leaves make a tidy show.
Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Prairie dropseed, and Cora Louise peony.
