Iceberg is an old rose bred by Reimer Kordes already in 1985. In order to support its international success its original name Schneewittchen^® was changed to Iceberg^®. It has medium-sized, snow white, semi-double flowers with light fragrance. Leaves are dark green and healthy, marginally suspected to black spot and mildew, and stems have very few thorns. It blooms almost continuously or in flushes from early summer until autumn. It was awarded ADR in 1960 and is listed in the Rose Hall Of Fame. It belongs to the world’s best-known roses.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: Cut the branches in half in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts. During the flowering season prune flowered stems regularly and follow a regular feeding programme. SCHNEEWITTCHEN ^® is hardy enough to be grown in an outdoor planter all year round.
