Also known as 'Fee des Neiges' and 'Schneewittchen', this rose is a constant bloom machine and ranks as one of the American Rose Society's highest rated roses (in the top 1% of all roses!). Over forty years after it's introduction, 'Iceberg' is still one of the world's most widely planted roses.� If you are looking for a rose which will reliably provide wave after wave of white blooms on a sturdy, bushy plant, 'Iceberg' is a good rose to try and as its name implies, it is very winter hardy. �Blackspot may make an occasional appearance on occasion, but it is usually shrugged off by the plant.�
It is easy to see why 'Iceberg' is rated so highly around the world. Pumping out large clusters of fragrant blooms all season long, this well-mannered rose stays a nice-sized bush that just laughs at the winter cold. Its vigor and hardiness are nothing less than excellent, making this a rose to be recommended without hesitation.
