Climbing Floribunda Rose

Rosa Climbing Iceberg

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: June to September
• Flower colour: creamy or pure white
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Sprays of double, slightly fragrant, creamy or pure white flowers from June to September and masses of mid-green leaves. This repeat-flowering, climbing rose looks gorgeous silhouetted against a sunny house or garden wall. One of the most reliable climbers, as long as the faded blooms are regularly removed it will continue flowering into autumn.
  
  
• Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 20-30cm (8-12in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.
  
  All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
