Name That Rose!

What kind of rose is this?

11 years ago

Bought 2 of these roses in the clearance section this past April and it was labeled rosa floribunda 'iceberg'. But it has pinkish mottling all over the blooms and the leaves are on the lighter side - not darker green like the icebergs I've seen before. Does anyone know what this is? Any insights would be appreciated - thx!

the pink is a fungal disease called botrytis, caused by the cool, wet weather we've had recently. Clears up when it get warm.

You can't tell leaves on an immature plant. Give it 2 - 3 years before evaluating. The other Icebergs you've seen have probably been planted for a number of years, with benefit of fertilizing and maybe a fungicide spray, since Iceberg's disease resistance is weird, OK some places, horrid in others.
