Rose Iceberg 3L
Description
Rose Iceberg 3L Surprisingly, white roses are not hard to find, Iceberg is one of the best of that bunch. A super reliable flowerer, it keeps on going all Summer, and well into the short nights of Winter. Purest white, sometimes with a tinge of blush pink in the heat, it has a light sweet fragrance. A great garden rose, height to 1.2m. When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease. Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level. Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry. Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot. For best results, feed roses in in late-March/April and again late July. Before planting, plunge bare root plants into a bucket of water for half an hour to rehydrate. To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly. Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and dont worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back. When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease. Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
