'Iceberg, Climbing'  Climber   White    Remontant  P2    H1 **
The best of the Climbing Floribunda sports, in my opinion. I have been impressed by the cover given by the foliage, a good backcloth for the white flowers. Introduced by Cants in 1968.

Clg. Iceberg. This is a very welcome addition as good white climbers are almost non-existent. Floribunda climbing sports almost all repeat flower and it would be surprising if this one did not.

[Editor?] The Gardeners' Chronicle 31st October, 1969 reports that Cants of Colchester had to withdraw an application for a plant patent for 'Climbing Iceberg' which occurred in their nursery in 1963 among half a dozen plants; the stock plant from which they had taken the buds was already climbing, but they had not noticed this the previous year unfortunately.
The nearby Green Meadows Nurseries of Franz Timmerman found a similar sport on a production bush in the winter of 1962-63. Cants placed it on the market in 1966 but had to withdraw their application to patent, as Franz's brother, Joseph, of Nottingham, had also been offering 'Climbing Iceberg'.
