Product Overview
Burgundy Iceberg PBR Floribunda Standard Rose 90cm is a refined reinterpretation of the classic Iceberg series, featuring a luxurious deep burgundy hue that deepens in cooler weather. Grafted onto a 90cm (3 foot) standard stem, this rose adds a structured, elegant presence and is ideal for garden borders, patios, or container displays.
Growth:
Grafted on a 90cm (3 foot) standard, this rose develops a compact rounded, bushy form. Its glossy, dark green foliage sets a striking stage for abundant clusters of medium-sized, fully double blooms that appear in flushes throughout the growing season.
Light Requirements:
Burgundy Iceberg thrives in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. This generous light exposure not only encourages robust growth but also intensifies the rich burgundy tones of its petals.
Soil Requirements:
It performs best in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that is enriched with organic matter. An ideal pH between 6.0 and 7.0 supports deep root development and optimal nutrient uptake while excellent drainage helps prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Water Requirements:
Regular, deep watering is essential during warm, dry periods to maintain consistent soil moisture and support continuous blooming. While the plant benefits from steady hydration, careful watering is necessary to avoid waterlogging.
Frost Tolerance:
This rose exhibits moderate frost tolerance, making it well-suited for temperate climates. In regions subject to severe frosts, additional winter protection such as a frost cloth or extra mulch is recommended to shield the delicate stems and roots.
Drought Tolerance:
Burgundy Iceberg is not highly drought-tolerant. Although it performs well under routine irrigation, supplemental watering during extended dry spells is advisable to maintain plant vigor and ensure a sustained display of blooms.
Flowering Information:
Burgundy has stunning blooms. Each large, fully double flower unfurls to reveal a deep burgundy display that intensifies in cooler weather, offering a striking departure from the traditional Iceberg white. The moderate fragrance and repeat-flowering habit from spring through autumn make these blooms perfect for both cut arrangements and fresh garden displays.
Spacing Requirements:
For optimal air circulation and healthy growth, plant these roses 1 to 2 metres apart. This spacing minimises competition for light, water, and nutrients while reducing the risk of disease.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Apply a balanced, organic slow-release fertiliser on a monthly basis during the growing season. This steady nutrient supply supports vigorous growth, abundant blooming, and overall plant resilience.
Care and Maintenance:
Begin by pruning in early spring to remove dead or weak wood and to shape the plant for improved air flow and light penetration. Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering, while a generous layer of mulch around the base helps conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Routine monitoring for pests and diseases, with prompt treatment when necessary, will ensure that Burgundy Iceberg remains a wonderful and healthy addition to your garden.
