Notes
'Polka' rose (Rosa 'Polka') is a vine for cut flowers, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The large apricot blooms are fragrant and packed with frilly petals. Bees visit the flowers. Alain A. Meilland bred it in 1991.
Pairs well with The President clematis, Spotted beebalm, and Lily.
