Notes

'Snow White' rose (Rosa 'Snow White') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and specimen planting. 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 white blooms are fragrant and bees visit them. It stays compact, with dark green leaves, and flowers in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Joseph H. Hill Co introduced it in 1941.

Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Ornamental onion, June hosta, and Johnny jump up.
