Pink Iceberg  Blushing Pink Iceberg, PROberg, pb 1995.  This rose is a sport of Iceberg which appeared in my garden in 1994. Willhelm Kordes told me that he had never known Iceberg to sport before, anywhere in the world, in the 40 years since its introduction. It is the same as Iceberg in every way except for the colour of the petals which are in various shades of pink to white and the stamens which are orangey pink.  The flowers tend to be darker in the cold weather and it sometimes produces branches of pure white flowers. It is just as floriferous as its parent and produces a brave display almost continuously for many months. Iceberg sport.  Weatherly L. Introduced Swanes, Australia.

.....As far as I know in all the years since its introduction, it had never sported before it did so in my garden in 1991.  A plant of Iceberg, which had been given to me by the local Devon Nursery, suddenly produced a spontaneous mutation, which was pink.  Pink iceberg (PBR) Blushing Pink Iceberg) is now in cultivation.   It has flowers in many shades of pink through to white. Where the flowers are pinkest, the stamens a orangey pink. Where the flowers are white, the stamens are yelliw.

Iceberg F, w, 1958, Kordes and its sport Pink Iceberg F. pb, Weatherley are always in flower.  Iceberg has always been popular, outselling all other roses, because it is so free flowering and easy to care for.  'Pink Iceberg' has all the same attributes except for the pink of the flowers and stamens.

Pink Iceberg Discovered as 'sport' of Iceberg and developed by Tasmanian Lilia Weatherly this charming pink form of the Iceberg rose is set to warm the hearts of gardeners who want more than just white! In every way 'Pink Iceberg' mimics its parent in characteristics except for the pink blush exquisitely painted as if by hand on each petal. We feel it will become as popular as its parent. The rose is patented under PBR legislation and is currently being grown in America and South Africa.
