The Iceberg rose, bred in 1958 by Kordes, is one of the most popular and beautiful rose varieties in the world. This variety belongs to floribunda roses and is characterized by abundant and continuous blooming from June until the first frosts. The flowers are snow-white, double or semi-double, with a diameter of 5-7 cm, shaped like goblets or cups. In cooler weather, the petals may acquire a light pink tint, while in hot weather they may take on a slight yellowish hue. The flowers are arranged in loose clusters of 3-15 blooms, which last a long time and are resistant to rain. The rose has a very weak fragrance, but its white-pearly splendor compensates for this.
The bushes of the Iceberg rose have a strong and attractive form. Height varies from 80-100 cm to 120 cm and can even reach 2 meters depending on growing conditions. The stems are flexible and slender, making this variety suitable for vertical landscaping, such as on supports or pergolas. The leaves are broad, light green, and glossy, adding additional decorative appeal to the plant. The rose looks great both as a solitary planting and in mixed borders, flowerbeds, hedges, and containers.
This variety is distinguished by high frost resistance and resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew and black spot. Thanks to these qualities, along with abundant blooming and decorative appeal, Iceberg is an excellent choice for decorating gardens and landscape compositions. The blooming period is long, with several buds opening simultaneously on each stem, lasting about a month, making this variety especially attractive to gardeners.
