About this plant
Rosa 'Brilliant Pink Iceberg' is a floribunda rose bearing semi-double blooms in shades of bright pink blended with soft cream. These flowers appear in generous clusters from late spring through fall, each exuding a mild honey fragrance that enhances borders, containers, or hedges. Glossy green foliage and nearly thornless stems support the flowers, creating an airy, elegant display that deepens in color during cooler periods. Its prolific blooming habit maintains visual interest throughout the season, attracting pollinators while providing cut flowers for arrangements.
This rose emerged as a color sport of the acclaimed Iceberg rose, discovered in Tasmania in the mid-1990s. Introduced commercially under the cultivar name 'PRObril' and patented in 2002, it combines consistent flowering, hardiness, and notable disease resistance. Its reliable bloom performance and softly hued petals offer enduring charm in a variety of garden settings.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Floribundas bloom in generous clusters, and light shaping keeps the framework rounded and full.
