Iceberg Rose Shrub | White Rose Plant Information and Care
Plant the Iceberg Rose in the full sun or even partial shade, as icebergs are one of the few roses that will thrive and produce flower blossoms under both light and indirect exposure. In a planting area, Iceberg Roses are planted as a medium-sized shrub. They can be placed behind a foreground plant like boxwoods, begonias, or annuals. A large shrub can be planted behind them as a background, such as Ligustrum.
Irrigation and Fertilization
Water regularly, about 1–3 times a week, with an automatic sprinkler system for best results. Irrigate deeply and adjust the frequency depending on the weather. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer, such as one with a 1-1-1 NPK ratio, in the spring through the summer. Do not fertilize in the fall.
Pest Management of Iceberg Roses
Although a very vigorous and resistant species, the use of an all-in-one rose feed, insecticide, fungicide, and miticide products helps protect against common pests and diseases.
Powdery mildew is a fungus that commonly affects the Iceberg Rose during the late winter and early spring. Proper irrigation management, pruning to reduce density and allow for more air flow if needed, and applying organic fungicides such as Bordeaux, Liqui-cop, and Neem oil.
