Iceberg is arguably one of the most famous and widely grown floribunda roses in the world. Renowned for its extraordinary reliability and continuous display of pristine white flowers, it is a staple in Australian gardens. The blooms are a pure, sparkling white, semi-double in form, and appear in large clusters against its bright green, glossy foliage. While its fragrance is light and delicate with a honey-like sweetness, its real magic lies in its incredible performance and disease resistance, making it an easy-to-grow favourite for both new and experienced gardeners.
General Care Tips:
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It performs best in a sunny spot, which encourages a prolific flush of blooms and helps prevent fungal issues.
- Soil and Watering: Plant in well-drained, rich soil. Water deeply and regularly, especially in dry conditions, to keep the soil consistently moist. It is quite drought-tolerant once established but performs best with regular watering.
- Usage: ‘Iceberg’ is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for creating a classic white hedge, planting en masse in a garden bed, or as a graceful showpiece. Its weeping habit also makes it an excellent choice for a standard (tree) rose. Its blooms are great for simple, elegant cut flower arrangements.
