Default Iceberg vs. Fabulous- comments please?


Jim last year I planted fabulous next to iceberg.

It was such an embarassing performer next
to iceberg that I had to shovel prune it.

my experience, very disease prone, limited
bloom production and slow growth.

Others have had a better experience.

If you had to get another great white rose
get Guinevere. Also from JP. Only rose that keeps
up with iceberg. Is fully double and has a nice scent too.
bullet proof foliage.

I want to add one white rose to replace my John F. Kennedy which was a
disappointment. (I just discretely transplanted JFK to a parking strip

next
to a telephone pole up the street, thereby not feeling guilty that I

killed
it...)

ANYWAY- I see Iceberg makes lots of people's "Top 30" lists, and I've

also
seen easy local availability of Fabulous! On www.helpmefind.com I noticed
that Fabulous! is descended from Iceberg. Any comments on one vs. the
other? (and not, "hey, just get both..."...can't do it!)

Thanks
