Iceberg roses are medium sized, rounded shrubs with dark green leaves and thorns. I’m hoping in around two months I’ll be up here most of the time as I put my Sydney home on the market, in which case I will be able to enjoy the rewards of my labours rather than just labouring for the few days each week I’m here. The Iceberg Rose is the most popular white flower rose shrub planted. Iceberg Shrub Rose is recognized worldwide as the best of white landscape rosesand this climbing English sport of that beloved plant is now available.

Rose Iceberg White Flower Farm Rose Iceberg Sold Out for the Season Email me when item is in stock: SKU: S66744 1 for 35. It now has four climbing roses in pinks and whites that should look stunning when (if) they take off. The Grotto garden is starting to fill out and is framed with flowering bulbs. They bloom in clusters, creating a very full look all season long. In the meantime, the bulbs are starring and doing exactly what I had hoped.

The garden bed at the front wall is gradually filling in and taking shape, although I’m only putting in the bigger plants like Camellias and Azaleas and avoiding smaller ones given some of the fatalities I’ve had with frosts. The early stages of the front wall garden beds I’m trying to find a balance with not cluttering the front yard yet softening it as it was quite harsh and bare initially (and moreso since I pulled out the scruffy shrubs).įocussing on the garden is a good distraction whilst all the tradesmen work on the Convent and I’m keen for the Convent to see lots of garden life come Spring.

Super flowerful, vigorous & tough You can grow this amazing tree rose in large pots or well staked in the garden. I gave some of the roses I planted last year a light trim but left the climbers as I was under strict instruction not to prune these for the first two years as it would inhibit growth. My neighbour, D, who has in the past stepped in to look after them in periods of neglect, gave me the thumbs up. Anyway, after being given the go-ahead from one of the Kandos rose experts, I took to them with gusto. In Sydney most of the roses would have been pruned at least a month ago, but I’ve been wary of the heavy frosts. Not being very experienced with roses, I’ve been watching and getting advice from neighbours. Playing it safe (in case I do damage with a hard prune), I’ve taken cuttings. These roses seem to be pretty old bushes and aren’t in the best condition. This weekend I took the major step in pruning the original Convent roses. I plan to add another bank of roses in front of these.Īs we head towards rose time, I’m getting my roses in shape (and ‘in’).
