Climbing Iceberg (Schneewitchen)

Full description:

Some roses decorate a garden. Climbing Iceberg® dresses it.

There is something almost ceremonial about the way this rose covers a structure with clusters of white flowers. A fence becomes softer, a gate becomes more inviting, and a quiet corner of the garden can become a luminous focal point filled with movement, light and seasonal beauty.

Introduced by Kordes in Germany in 1958, Iceberg became one of the most admired white roses in the world, loved for its abundant flower clusters and reliable flowering. Climbing Iceberg® carries that same iconic white-flowering character into a taller, more architectural form, ideal for vertical garden features.

Its flowers appear in generous clusters, usually white and occasionally touched with soft pink, creating a delicate, airy effect across the plant. When in bloom, Climbing Iceberg® can transform a support into a cascade of pale flowers, bringing a refined and romantic feeling to the garden.

At Famous Roses, we recommend Climbing Iceberg® for gardeners who want to create structure without heaviness. It is a rose that brings height and presence, but its colour keeps the effect calm, elegant and easy to combine with other roses, perennials and shrubs.

Strong, vigorous and repeat flowering, this climbing rose can reach approximately 4.5–5 m in height when well established and trained on a suitable support. It is an excellent choice for pergolas, arches, fences, gates and walls where a classic white climber can become part of the garden’s identity.
