Rosa 'Prose' | Burgundy Iceberg Floribunda Rose
DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Prose’ (also marketed as Burgundy Iceberg) is a floribunda rose that bursts into bloom with deep purple‑crimson petals and lighter, rose‑pink reverses. These clustered blossoms emerge in flushes from spring through fall, exuding a strong, sweet fragrance. The dark blooms contrast beautifully with glossy green foliage that remains clean and elegant.
Discovered in 1998 in New South Wales as a sport of Brilliant Pink Iceberg, ‘Prose’ was introduced commercially in 2003. Its upright, compact habit and resilience have earned it popularity in borders, beds, and as a cut‑flower rose. The bold coloration and continuous flowering habit bring dramatic flair to gardens while remaining garden‑friendly.
