How to Grow Burgundy Iceberg Rose

First discovered in Australia, Burgundy Iceberg, as with all own root roses, is easy to grow and care for. Here are a few tips to successfully growing Burgundy Iceberg:

Choose a full sun location with well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy, or clay amend first by double digging the area and adding in organic compost or soil amendments such as Green Sand.
Dig a planting hole 2 inches larger than the container size of the rose.
Remove the rose from the container and very slight 'fluff' up the roots.
If the rose has not already been pruned, remove any flower buds or blooms, and any damaged or weak stems prior to planting. Removing the flowers will help the rose to focus on establishing a good root system rather than producing flowers.
Place the Burgundy Iceberg rose in the planting hole and back-fill with topsoil to the level of the plant.
Apply slow-release organic rose fertilizer such as Down To Earth Rose and Flower around the base of the rose and gently work into the soil. Water thoroughly.
To keep Burgundy Iceberg flowering, deadhead spent flowers to prevent rose hips from forming during the season.
