I had one plant from so many years ago it wasn't on my list. I started keeping a detailed list in 2002 of where I bought each rose, where I planted it, etc. The old climber died over the bitter winter of 2003 or 2004. I replaced it in 2007. This one is so tall I have to get on a ladder to train it to the arbor. I also had to buy a 7 foot long catch and hold pruner. I'm not sure if it's the newer product I starred using in 2010 or what. This is one of the most beautiful roses in my garden and I have 212 to choose from. When it blooms, it's absolutely beautiful.
It's one of the best climbers there is but give it plenty of room.

Love this rose. It has the most beautiful white blooms and they stay a bright white.	REPLY

I am trying to decide which rose is best to cover a 20 ft brick wall, Iceberg or 'Mme. Alfred Carrière'? The roses don't need to cover all the brick, just some of it. I am a first-time gardener and live in Atlanta. The site receives afternoon sun.	REPLY

Mme. Carriere is a climber that will grow well in your climate and it has a nice fragrance. Iceberg is a climbing floribunda and likes to grow more like a pillar. However you can always train a climber to go where you want it to grow. Making a decision on roses is very personal because it does come down to what pleases you most. Both of these climbers are good ones.	REPLY

Hi Unregistered; I was wondering how your decision went? I have MM Carriere planted just now, and dont know how she will go; am considering also the iceberg. I live in Atlanta also. Do you have any further info since your initial post?	REPLY

Hello. I have a strange question for all of you rose experts out there. I bought three iceberg climbers from Home Depot and they have been very floriferous so far. The only thing is that they haven't really "climbed" that much. I planted them in April, and at the end of the season (December) they have just finished blooming, but are only about 3ft. I have to say that these are fantastic as they bloomed heavily in their first year, but am wondering if I should move them as I really need to cover a wall. Any info would be helpful.

Depending on where you live most climbers take three years to really take off. That's been my experience with every climber I've planted. You should see climbing canes this next season. Next season they should fill out and be wonderful. If you don't see indications this year, you may have the floribunda, Iceberg.	REPLY

I agree with the previous 'post'. Here in Silicon Valley, CA I have climbing ICEBERG, 68 growing next to the garage, where is gets little sunlight. I never prune it 'hard' in January! It just trim it gently, removing any dead leaves.It did take about 3 seasons to get 10 ft high! And it always has a lot of roses, but with pink dots, due to the amount of shade on that side between the garage & the fence.
