I have both the floribunda and climbing versions of Iceberg-one is more prone to blackspot than the other. I purchased them from 2 different vendors, so this may account for it. Since this is the first year for both, blooms have been minimal. When it has bloomed, the climber's blooms have been fuller and richer, as well as more numerous, than the floribunda's. Another factor to consider-the climber has been in full sun since planting-floribunda has been in part shade for the same amount of time-this may also account for lack of blooms/disease resistance on the floribunda. The climber is a keeper-jury is still out on the floribunda.--A 2007 update--Unfortunately, this rose did succumb to Rose Mosaic Virus in this year. Upon reflection, I believe the disease began manifesting itself in mid 2006, when I began noticing changes in its leaves and blooming pattern. I shovel pruned this climber with regret. Despite this, it was a wonderful climber and bloomer when healthy.

I have grown 'Iceberg' for years, as it is my favorite ''white floribunda'. It winds its way
up our house, and it's always in bloom until New Years in the Silicon Valley, CA. It
tolerates low -ight situations, so friends in San Francisco enjoy it immensely ! It is
prone to powdery mildew, but I like that look . . . rather dusty sage-green leaves!
This rose grows anywhere and it covers up nicely any ugly sharp corners of a modern
looking home, giving it a old-fashioned 'cottage look'. IT also has a slight scent that
is quite lovely, growing up the entrance post near our front foor! --K Haas
