I have no complaints with my white Iceberg roses - even when it rains and the white flowers get blotched with pink I love them. I have read garden writers who dislike this look. I'd put up with the blotches to have the rain!
White flowering roses form a good, strong link between other coloured roses - their great contribution to my type of garden is often overlooked. This is the very first time I've bothered to take a close-up photograph, though - Iceberg, I’m so sorry!
I've always grown Iceberg roses - there are bushes in almost every garden border, and one of my latest rose purchases was a Pink Iceberg, which I love.
The climbing white Iceberg roses on the house fences were here when we first arrived. I used to prune them so carefully - these days I just use the hedge clippers. I’ve also grown several from cuttings, though they are not as robust in growth.
