Know before you buy
The Burgundy Iceberg shares the same vigorous, reliable growth habit and continuous blooming cycle as the classic Iceberg rose. The primary difference is the color; while the original is white, this variety features deep purple-red blooms with a distinct cream reverse.
Yes, the intensity of the burgundy color is temperature-dependent. You will notice the blooms deepen into a richer, darker shade during cooler weather, while they may appear slightly lighter during the heat of summer.
Yes, the Burgundy Iceberg is hardy in zones 6 through 10. If you are at the colder end of that range, ensure the plant is well-mulched to protect the roots during the first winter.
Being own-root means the rose is grown from its own cuttings rather than being grafted onto a different rootstock. This typically results in a longer-lived, more resilient plant that will grow true to its variety even if it dies back to the ground in a harsh winter.
The Burgundy Iceberg grows to approximately 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide. You should space them at least 5 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation, which helps keep the foliage healthy and disease-free.
Yes, this variety is pollinator-friendly. Its semi-double blooms allow bees and other beneficial insects easier access to the center of the flower compared to many fully double rose varieties.
