Polar Star Hybrid Tea Roses

The Polar StarRose is an award-winning hybrid tea variety with shapely, very full, double, pure white blooms, which in different lights seem to be accented by cream or green depths to the petals. If you're looking for something different than a pale-coloured hybrid tea, take a look at our full selection of roses. Bred by German rose expert Tantau, it was awarded Rose of the Year in 1985, and more than 30 years later, has more than stood the test of time. It has a light-moderate scent. The high-centred blooms make it an excellent exhibition variety and is very popular with show growers. Polar Star is repeat flowering from June right through to autumn. The growth is upright and thorny, reaching about 1m tall with a spread of 60cm.

Great in your garden

If flower arranging is your hobby or you have the space for a cutting bed, Polar Star is an excellent rose to choose. It's a favourite of florists, with its white, high-centred blooms, attractive foliage and sturdy stems, especially for weddings and formal events. White roses signify purity, simplicity and sophistication. They also have a great vase life of 10-15 days, making it perfect for the amateur grower.

If you're considering growing for exhibition, whether a major event or the local show, Polar Star's a great first rose to try. Its good disease resistance, ease of growing (it will tolerate a small amount of shade, unlike many other varieties) and naturally showy flowers will help you wow the crowds.

As an upright-growing hybrid tea rose, Polar Star looks best in a traditional-style rose bed, rather than stuck in with mixed planting. Use several of the same variety together, underplanted with well-established companion plants such as lavender (especially white varieties), or creeping thyme, which will both keep down weeds and disguise the rose's 'bare ankles'! Embrace its cool palette - there are few roses that carry it off so well.

Did you know

Roses often have more than one name, or synonym, often depending on the country they are grown in, which can be confusing! Rose Polar Star is also known as Polar Spire, Tanlarpost, Polarstern, Stellar Polare and oddly, Evita.

If you're a literary fan, Polar Star is the best-selling sequel to blockbuster author Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park.

How to plant Polar Star roses

If planting against a wall leave about 45cms (18") between plant and wall. Dig a hole deep enough to allow the graft to finish at soil level when planted and with plenty of room for the roots. Improve the soil from the hole by removing large stones, weeds, roots and other rubbish and mixing in about 25% by volume of well rotted compost or manure. Wet the roots and sprinkle with Rootgrow so it stays in contact with the roots. If planting a pot grown plant gently loosen some of the roots before planting.

Position your rose so the roots are spread out and it is set at approximately the same level in the soil as it was before being transplanted. The union should be level with the soil when you have finished planting. Backfill the hole with the planting mix, firming it down as you go. Water in thoroughly. Water again a day or two later and then keep watering in dry spells.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online.

We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
