Plant Type: Bush Rose
Species Group: Floribunda rose cultivar

📌 Product Description

Rosa ‘Burgundy Iceberg’ is a striking floribunda bush rose admired for its richly coloured blooms in deep burgundy, cerise-pink to velvety magenta tones, depending on climate and flower maturity. The semi-double to double flowers are produced in clusters, creating a bold and elegant display over a long flowering season.

This compact bush rose is ideal for garden beds, rose borders, feature planting, and decorative containers. Its glossy green foliage provides a fresh contrast to the dramatic blooms, while its repeat-flowering habit ensures regular colour through the warmer months in South African gardens. It brings classic rose beauty with a more unusual, modern flower colour.

Reliable, decorative, and free-flowering, Rosa ‘Burgundy Iceberg’ is an excellent choice for adding long-lasting colour and structure to formal and informal garden settings.
