    As noted by Antique Rose Emporium: "Katharina Zeimet was raised by Peter Lambert of Germany, who crossed Marie Pavie with another Polyantha. Exceptionally neat, dark green foliage and small, double, scented white flowers make this a plant of great refinement. The constant bloom and handsome shape of this shrub make it particularly desirable in the landscape or as a container plant."
