Rosa 'Iceberg'

A lovely rose but mine semms very laxed and hides its blooms.

That's queer, Pp :-/
This one is quite upright .... i've only had it a few months, i love it's purity :-)))

A very nice photo Louise, I planted mine last October and it started blooming early and is still covered with blossoms. Only the weight of the flowers has made it droop a bit.

Reminds me how lovely the one I had was. May need to think again after seeing how beautiful yours looks, and you are right about the pure whiteness of the flowers. I am def going to sneak another rose or two in the new borders without mentioning it to Geoff as he doesn't like them (strange man!)

I didn't used to want them in a mixed border but these 3' shrub roses, aswell as miniatures and ground-cover ones are very useful.
Does Geoff have a large 'say' in the garden and planting then ?

No Louise, he only thinks he does lol! He lets me have my way as I have been the gardener for the longest.

I've got to get a white rose bush...they're beauties

They really lift a semi shade area, Floralhead, this one's in shade from about 3pm and stops the gloom there !

I bet, it's gorgeous. =)

I've had mine for years louise and its better now than ever...I grow it in dappled shade and the white stands out beautifully....Yours is beautiful..

Thanks Moti, i'm really pleased with this plant and it's perfect in that spot, you're quite right, siting it in a shadier part accentuates its beauty :-)))
