Charming Climber

If you'd ask me what my favorite rose is, I'd have to say the Iceberg Climbing Rose, a beautiful white and prolific specimen. I discovered it about 15 year ago at a previous house, and cannot forget the beauty of having vases filled with these bouquets most of the summer. As you can see, they are still blooming and beautiful. They are great in the Oregon climate, and are resistant to pests and black spot.

Here is a bit of info about them from the internet:
A climbing sport of the well known Floribunda. There are few Floribundas that have successfully produced climbing sports. However, ‘Climbing Iceberg’ lives up to the high expectations we would have of its parent, sharing the bush’s extremely reliable characteristics whilst also taking on a new elegance with its longer growth. Very floriferous throughout the season, the small, lightly double flowers open wide and are held in large clusters. They are usually pure white but are sometimes tinged with pink later in the season. There is a light, sweet fragrance. The glossy, light green, rather narrow leaves are held on smooth, slender stems. 12ft.
