About Polka®
Other Details

FAN FAVORITE! The large, many petaled, old-fashioned, 5" blooms with 50+ petals are a blend of several shades of apricot and peach. Polka®’s old-rose fragrance perfumes the air through the extended bloom season with an abundance of blooms set against leathery, light green foliage. She has strong disease resistance and is a favorite of the staff at Heirloom Roses!

Impressive growers

Besides being beautiful when blooming, these roses are impressive growers (Zone 6a). Photos are of the two plants I bought (top is 1 year after planting, bottom is 2 years after planting). We had about 50 blooms this year on just those 2 plants

Spectacular Polka

I live in zone 9 and bought 4 roses for myself for my birthday last September. My Polka was full of buds and has flowered on and off throughout summer. I cannot wait until Polka is climbing high on our fence. I only select roses that are good for cutting, have some fragrance and are repeat or continual flowering.

My very first climber - lovely!

Beautiful blooms and lush foliage in my zone 10 garden in Southern California. I moved Polka to a sunny corner pot and it’s very happy!.

Vigorous plant, sweet ruffled bloom

Best performing of my roses, vigorous growth at year two in PNW. Love the fragrant ongoing large blooms. Seem to Last well as cut flowers. fragrance is sweet, and persistent. It’s not as intoxicating as my gold standard for fragrance, Dolly Parton, but quite lovely. 5/5 in the top of the roses I have planted. Starts more apricot colored and then fades to paler peach/pink tone.
