Burgundy ice(berg)

It was in 2003 that Mr Weatherly found this mutation of the popular white Iceberg rose in his garden in Tasmania.
The coloration is really stunning: A dark, burgundy red with white reverse. Flowers are double just like the mother iceberg plant. Light fragrance 
Growth and exceptional reblooming skills are identical as Iceberg (Schneewittchen) so 100 cm or 3 feet. From spring till October she's seldom without blooms. Health is moderate now Iceberg has become susceptible to Blackspot but it never stops her from blooming. She always grows out of the blackspot. Almost thornless. Good hardiness zone 4b to 9b
Especially beautiful as a tree rose or in combination with purple and blue perennials. 
One of the most beautiful sports ever
