Rose 'Iceberg'

Location

The Lily Pond Garden.

Description:

Probably the best known white floribunda, introduced in 1958 and still very popular. The medium-sized, white blooms, begin with shapely pink-tinted buds, from late May until autumn. There is a climbing form which is very attractive, and it may also be grown as a standard or half-standard.

Site and Care:

As a floribunda rose, prune from late winter to early spring. Cut back the main stems to 25-45cm (10-18in) above the ground pruning to just above an outward-facing bud. Reduce sideshoots to two or three buds. Remove any spindly or diseased growth.
