Landscape Notes: The Burgundy Iceberg Rose is a stunning variety of the Iceberg rose, known for its rich, deep burgundy-red blooms that are a departure from the classic white Iceberg roses. Here's a detailed description of the plant:
The Burgundy Iceberg features beautiful, velvety flowers in a rich burgundy or deep red color. These blooms are medium to large in size and have a classic, rounded shape with a slightly cupped appearance. They tend to be full-petaled, making them appear lush and striking.
Like other Iceberg varieties, the Burgundy Iceberg is a repeat bloomer, producing multiple flushes of flowers throughout the growing season. It typically blooms from late spring through fall, providing continuous color in the garden.
The plant has dark green, glossy leaves that provide an elegant contrast to the vibrant flowers. The foliage is generally healthy, with a good resistance to disease, which is one of the reasons Iceberg roses are so popular.
Burgundy Iceberg is a bushy, compact shrub, typically growing to about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Its upright, rounded shape makes it suitable for garden beds, borders, or as a focal point in a rose garden.
While not as intensely fragrant as some other roses, Burgundy Iceberg offers a mild, pleasant scent, making it a lovely addition to gardens where fragrance is a bonus but not a primary focus.
Exposure/Culture: This rose is hardy in USDA zones 5-9, meaning it can thrive in a variety of climates. It prefers full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight) and well-drained soil. Regular watering and occasional pruning for shape and health will help it maintain a vigorous growth. One of the standout features of the Burgundy Iceberg is its excellent resistance to common rose diseases, such as black spot and powdery mildew, making it relatively low-maintenance compared to other rose varieties.
Other Notes: This variety offers an elegant, rich color to the landscape, with its vibrant burgundy blooms standing out in any garden. It's perfect for gardeners who enjoy roses but want something a bit more unique than the traditional white Iceberg.
