Rosa 'Korbin'(ICEBERG)

Image of Rosa 'Korbin' (ICEBERG)

James H. Schutte

Family

Rosaceae

Botanical Name

Rosa 'Korbin'(ICEBERG)

Plant Common Name

Floribunda Rose, Iceberg Rose

General Description

Floribunda roses are hybrid crosses between hybrid tea and polyantha roses, so they have the large elegant flowers of the teas and the compact habit, clustered blooms and fragrance of the polyanthas.

From spring to fall the cultivar 'Korbin', the Iceberg rose, bears large sprays of elegantly formed, semi-double, white flowers. These are held above dense branches of dark green foliage that is relatively disease resistant.

The Iceberg rose is cold hardy, so it thrives best in temperate climates with sufficient winter chill to allow for dormancy. It prefers moist, well drained soil and full sun, but will accept light shade. Use floribundas in low growing hedges, in mixed borders, or rose gardens.
