Pink Iceberg Rose

The label on this rose clearly states Pink Iceberg - I assume that this is the proper name. Pink Iceberg has been brilliant - the colour is such an unusual pink, and its habit and flowering times are exactly the same as white Iceberg.

A Cluster of Pink Iceberg Roses

Everyone has heard of the famous white rose called Iceberg. Here in New Zealand it’s always ranked in the top ten roses, no matter what magazine you're reading.

My Pink Iceberg rose is pretty tall, and so I suspect it could be grown nicely on some sort of rose support. It’s certainly a rose I’d like more of.

The colour could be difficult to combine with other flowers - if you worry about that sort of thing - but I guess there’d be no trouble with the colours of Lavender or Catmint. The flowers are an unusual (but nice) mixture of pink and white.

Update

My friends tell me there is a Claret Iceberg in the nurseries now. Perhaps this rose would make a good Christmas present - to me, from me...
