Alexander MacKenzie Rose

The Alexander MacKenzie Rose, 'Rosa 'Alexander MacKenzie', exhibits cupped blooms that open from deep raspberry-red buds held in sprays of six to twelve above newly emerged leaves richly tinted with red. As the disease resistant foliage matures, it forms a dark green backdrop for deep red blooms with the aroma of raspberries. This rose has its own root. The advantage of own root roses is that once established they are very resilient. If winter's freezing breezes kill the top growth, the rose will grow back in the spring, and the recovered rose will look the same as the one you purchased. ... additional information

 

Iceberg Climbing The Climbing Iceberg rose is a climbing sport of the famous floribunda that is extremely vigorous. The supple canes need support but can be deployed against a painted surface because it can be considered virtually disease free. Given enough space to develop it will produce a shower of bloom turning it into a virtual snow bank. If one tries to confine it, bloom quality is severely reduced and you end up with a substitute for ivy. Our shipping containers require that all plants be cut to the same height with the result that the first year’s performance is primarily providing growth to support the following year’s bloom, so please be patient. The same hardiness as the original and just as fragrant.
