Award-winning Rosa 'Iceberg' is one of the best Floribunda roses and one of the most popular of all roses. It produces abundant clusters of medium-sized, rounded and double flowers with soft white petals (30-40 petals), sometimes flushed with pale pink. Mildly fragrant, 'Iceberg' blooms continuously right through the season until winter. Tall, bushy, upright, handsomely shaped shrub with large, shiny, glossy, light green leaves which provide an ideal backdrop for its summer-long floral display. Very free flowering, 'Iceberg' is available as a bush, but also as a standard, weeping standard, and as a climbing rose that is fit for clambering over pergolas or trees.
- Blooms nonstop from late spring to frost, its white flowers brighten and highlight garden spaces.
- Grows up to 4 ft. tall (120 cm) as a shrub and up to 12 ft. as a climber (360 cm) with a 3 ft. spread (90 cm). An excellent choice for beds, borders or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Highly popular, this lovely Rose won many prestigious awards, including the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates light shade, but best flowering and disease resistance occurs in full sun. Fairly drought tolerant once established.
- Slightly prone to black spot. Provide good air circulation to prevent humidity.
- Bred by Kordes in 1958.
