Notes:
Ludwigs Roses says that if planted on a large embankment, 'Heideschnee' will make its own roots and assist in holding the soil. They also say that the rose breeders, Messrs W. Kordes, have made frequent use of the word heide when naming their roses. A heide is a landscape region in which Heather is the dominant indigenous plant growing and, in the case of this rose, the appearance is like snow in the open heather landscape.
