Notes
'Iceberg' rose (Rosa 'Iceberg') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. It bears pure white, lightly fragrant blooms with about 30 to 40 petals each. Kordes bred it, and it repeat blooms. With yearly pruning it stays a shrub about four feet high, or you can leave it unpruned to climb.
Pairs well with Gaura, Butterfly bush, Casa Blanca lily, and Nelly Moser clematis.
