I have been recommended this rose by a seller as I was looking for an ebb tide. It will not stay in my garden.

Out of curiosity, I don't grow any of the Iceberg familia, what are your objections? To me the color looks a bit dull in pictures.

The shrub shape and the flower shape is really basic for my taste. Also, I had more pests on that one. The shrub is kind of saggy :P

Is it fragrant? How long does it last in the vase?

KBW in Pakistan grows this in his hot weather (up to 113 F). He stated it's fragrant.

I get hardly any fragrance from 'Iceburg' or 'Burgandy Ice' but them my highest temperature last summer was only 26 degrees centigrade.

Certain roses are more fragrant at hot temp, like Double Delight and Chrysler Imperial. In cold weather, those scents went downhill. In contrast, Austin roses smell best at cool temp. In hot temp, my Austin Scepter'd Isle smells like dirty-socks, and Radio Times & Wise Portia lose 1/2 of its scent. But the French Romantica roses are consistently fragrant regardless of temp.

Very good news that DD and CI smell the best in heat. We have no shortage of that here!

'Burgundy Iceberg' was discovered by Lilia Weatherly (not Edgar Norman Swane who introduced it). Please see Combined Rose List 2014 and The Journal of Heritage Roses in Australia, vol.35, autumn 3013, page 18 and page 21.

The Heritage Roses in Australia reference you mentioned contained Lilia's obituary wherein someone else was attributing 'Burgundy Iceberg' to her.
Please see the Australian Patent wherein it says
Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: from ‘Brilliant Pink Iceberg’. A. Mutation took place at Swane’s Nursery, Dural, NSW………… Breeders: Prophyl Pty Ltd, Austins Ferry, TAS and Swane's Nurseries Australia Pty Limited, Dural, NSW.
