This is a rambling rose that I planted about five years ago on a semi shaded wall. I took a small cutting from a neighbour's plant and it's never looked back! Unfortunately I don't know the variety! This photo does not do it justice, the pink is much deeper!

It really is a stunning rose! I've taken quite a few cuttings this year, so if any survive, I'd be quite happy to send you one!

Beautiful @jacquijc62 Am wondering do you take hard/soft cutting and did you dip in rooting powder and then just in compost? I would like to take a cutting of my climbing iceberg. Never done it before 😐

Actually Rachel, I did take a soft cutting from the Rose and put it in rooting gel and popped into a small plant pot with potting compost, however, this one didn't take! So, rescued it from the pot put it in a milk bottle full of water outside my kitchen door and forgot about it until the following spring, by which time it had a complete root system formed. I then planted it in a large terracotta pot, gave it a feed and it never looked back! It actually flowers from Spring right the way through

I'm on the south coast, so obviously the weather helps!

Good luck. Let me know how you get on! Can't think what an iceberg rose looks like? Any chance of a photo?
