1901
3 to 4 feet
Introduced in 1901 by German breeder Peter Lambert, Katharina Zeimet is a timeless Polyantha rose treasured for her graceful habit, constant bloom, and cloud-like sprays of pure white flowers.
This dainty yet vigorous rose produces small, fully double blooms (26–40 petals) in generous clusters, often forming airy sprays of dozens of flowers at a time. Blooming continuously from spring through fall, Katharina Zeimet delivers a steady, elegant display that brightens borders and pathways with ease. A light, delicate fragrance adds to her charm, while her blooms are notably tolerant of less-than-perfect weather.
Naturally compact and bushy, typically reaching 1–2 feet tall and wide, this Polyantha is ideal for beds, borders, low hedges, and containers. With regular pruning, she maintains a neat form, though her vigorous nature allows her to size up slightly if left uncut. Her dense, medium-to-dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the pristine white flowers.
Hardy and dependable in USDA zones 6b and warmer, Katharina Zeimet is a beautiful choice for gardeners seeking an antique rose that offers both refinement and resilience—perfect for mass plantings or as a soft, glowing accent near walkways and seating areas.

At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
