1953 – 1962:<br><em>Rosa</em> Iceberg (‘Korbin’)

1953 – 1962:
Rosa Iceberg (‘Korbin’)

This pure white Floribunda, from German rose breeder Reimer Kordes, stole the show at Chelsea in 1958. It’s probably still one of the best-known of all roses.

Plant Champion: Dorothy Wood, 59 from Hornchurch Dorothy grew up in Glasgow and inherited her love of roses from her father. Rosa Iceberg (‘Korbin’) was a favourite of his and Dorothy still grows it in her garden today. It has become a family joke that Dorothy is always 'popping into the garden for 10 minutes' only to emerge three hours later.
