"Iceberg" is one of the most popular roses in the world. Its simple beauty and easy growing habits make it an excellent choice for gardens, whether for cutting or just enjoying. It "plays well with others" -- especially lovely, I think, with lavender at its feet -- or looks stunning in a mass.
"Iceberg" is a floribunda rose -- Latin for "many-flowering" -- which were developed in the early 1900s as a cross between hybrid teas and polyanthas, in order to take advantage of both the polyantha profusion of blooms and the hybrid teas' looks and color range. Typical of the floribundas is the mass of blooms on a single cane. "Iceberg" was introduced in Germany in 1958; there it is known as "Schneewittchen" -- "Snow White". It also comes in a climbing form.
