Notes
'Snowflake' rose (Rosa 'Snowflake') is a climbing rose for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It has fragrant white blooms from late spring into early autumn, and bees visit them. The canes have few or no thorns, so it is easy to handle. Frank Cant bred it in 1922.
Pairs well with Amsonia, Blue jasmine, and Sedge.
