A sport of the renowned Iceberg rose, this rose shares the same exceptional hardiness and prolific flowering habit, but with a delicate twist—each white petal is softly brushed with a blush of pink. Occasionally, pure white blooms appear, especially in hotter summer weather, adding gentle contrast to its romantic display.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water newly planted roses daily during their first season. Once established (after a year), two deep soaks per week during warm weather will keep them thriving. Apply a soil wetter in spring and again in mid-summer to improve water penetration. Feed every four weeks from late April to early May with a quality rose fertiliser. Prune in winter to encourage healthy new growth, and follow with a lime sulphur spray to help prevent fungal disease. Apply mulch to retain moisture, keeping it clear of the base of the plant.
