This rose is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"Stronger and more flower-packed than ordinary non-climbing ‘Iceberg’ - with clusters of rhubarb-pink buds set on rhubarb pink stems topped by warm-white floribunda roses - a soft combination"

As ever this Rose is doing very well. I am leaving this review in mid February and there are half a dozen blooms on the climber which was planted in June last year. Ok they are slightly more pink than I was expecting but they will eventually turn white.

Has grown quite well - to about 1m - in first year but has a lot of black spot on lower stems. Possibly my damp clay soil

Looked healthy when it arrived but has not done much 'climbing' so far. Nice white flowers - perhaps it will grow more next season. Also has black spot

I bought this from Crocus when I first moved into my house 10 years ago as I always wanted roses round my front door which is south facing. I hardly do anything to it and it blooms every year. Smells gorgeous.

We advise this rose should be planted in areas that will get a minimum of 6 hours per day of full sun exposure. This is important to create optimal flowering during bloom seasons but the RHS list it as adaptable to partial shade.

Hello, The most likely causes for a lack of flowers are either not enough sun or feeding it with the wrong thing. Fertilisers that are high in nitrogen will encourage the plant to put on leafy growth, while high potash feeds encourage the production of flowers. Ideally, roses should be fed with a specialist rose fertiliser which will have just the right balance.

Hello, Many roses (including climbing Iceberg) are susceptible to blackspot. This is a fungal disease that is spread by wind and rain and usually causes leaf spotting and yellowing and eventually defoliation. To keep it under control, you should cut back any stems that have lesions in spring and collect all the fallen leaves. You should also spray with a suitable fungicide (Westland Plant Rescue Fungus Control, Bayer Garden Systhane Fungus Fighter, Bayer Garden Multirose Concentrate 2 and Scotts Fungus Clear Ultra), ideally alternating their application as the disease has the ability to become resistant to just one treatment. It is also worth keeping in mind that a rose that is kept well fed and watered is less likely to succumb, so do make sure it gets the best treatment. As for the wayward stems, they will need to be tied onto the support to prevent them going awol.

Morning Ideally climbing roses would prefer to be grown in the ground, but this is one of the smaller climbers so it could be grown in a container, - it still may grow to approx 2m x 3m, so will need to be kept well watered and fed. It will need a large pot, with a loam-based compost like John Innes No 3 mixed in with some multi-purpose compost or a very well-rotted manure for richness. Roses in containers will use up their food reserves quickly so may need to be fed with a granular rose fertiliser, and not allowed to dry out otherwise they can become prone to powdery mildew. Hope this helps

There are some lovely roses that should still be flowering in September - although ultimately this will largely be dependent on the weather.
