Description
Extremely disease resistant, vigorous and floriferous, ‘Iceberg’ is a floridunda Rose that aims to please. From spring to frost this beauty lights up the garden with a profusion of honey-scented, 3 to 4 inch diameter double white blooms with up to 15 blooms per spray! Its bushy, rounded form to 4 feet tall and equally as wide with glossy light-green foliage makes for a stunning hedge. A very easy care rose that is nearly thornless.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Iceberg Rose is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white them gardens, rose gardens, cottage gardens and container gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for hedges; 8 feet apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Iceberg Rose is easy to grow in average, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.
Maintenance is minimal with no pruning required, though the plant can benefit from it. An annual pruning in late winter, at which time branches can be cut back to about 18 inches above the ground, will result in a fuller plant throughout the growing season. After this hard pruning, your rose will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers through the season is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.
