Problems in Finding a very beautiful white rose

Posted by Ailam Finland (My Page) on

I had three roots of a very beautiful white rose. But as I am a beginner growing roses, these roots died last winter. It was very bad winter here in Finland. The garden where I bought the roses told me that the rose came from The Netherlands. The rose's name was "North Pole" or "North Pale". It was a very fragrant hybrid tea and the flowers were very large. I have tried to find this rose again, but haven't managed. Has anybody heard about it or is there somewhere some register, where I can ask about this rose?

Hi Ailam,

Are you refering to the rose 'Polareis'? It is a white, semi-double rugosa hybrid that is also fragrant. You can find it here:

You can also look up many different rose varieties on a fantastic website called www.helpmefind.com.

Good luck in your search!

HelpMeFind list over 800 names of white HTs but the only one anything like North Pole is Polar Star aka Polar Stern aka Evita aka TANlarpost. It can grow to a good size but I would never call it VERY fragrant. Hope this helps

North Pole is definitely not Polareis. There is no pink in North Pole.

I have also myself been looking Polar Star and I want to see it in nature. So I'm going to buy it next summer. It looks very much like North Pole. I hope it is the same rose!!!

Try The Polar Star at http://www.canadiangardening.com/climb_hardy.shtml and Be careful not to confuse ‘The Polar Star’ with a hybrid tea rose called ‘Polar Star’.)which could also be the rose you had and can be seen at http://www.wychcross.co.uk/index.htm

Good luck.

Hello Ailam,

Why not try "Frau Karl Druschki"? It's one of the beautifulest white rose, and it can do up to zone 4.
One drawback: no scent.
Best wishes,
Pete.
