Climbing Rose
Rosa Iceberg Climbing
Sweetly-scented sprays of flat, fully double, glowing white flowers emerge from shapely, pink-tinged buds between July and October. This is the a climbing form of the most popular white floribunda of our time with a vigorous, branching growth habit and masses of finely-toothed, ovate, glossy mid-green leaves. Perfect for covering an unsightly wall or fence, it will clothe its support with abundant, glossy foliage studded with large trusses of beautifully-shaped blooms. The flowers maintain their colour exceptionally well and don’t turn brown in the heat unlike other white roses. Planting in plenty of space and pruning lightly in late winter helps encourage a plentiful display of blooms and reduces the chance of disease being a problem. We’d also recommend dead heading fading blooms immediately to encourage it to produce a second flush of flowers. We sell both the climbing form (purchased on this page) and the Floribunda form of this rose – please search for “Iceberg” in the search bar at the top right of this page to view the Floribunda form

Garden Care:
Dependent on the time of year you buy our roses, the compost may break away when removing from the pot because they are field grown and potted in autumn. Prior to planting trim the roots to 25cm and the stems to 15 to 20cm taking care to cut diagonally away from and above an outer facing bud. Mix compost in with the back fill and a potash based fertilizer.
