Iceberg Roses: Few Blooms and Holey Leaves in Partial Shade

Icebergs bloom in two main flushes (spring, fall) with a summer lull—few flowers now is normal. Holes in leaves indicate chewing insects: jagged edges = beetles; smooth/round holes = caterpillars/sawfly larvae. Spray with Ortho Rose Pride Insect Control (not the disease formula) or Safer’s insecticidal soap.

Sunlight Note

Morning + late afternoon sun (6 hrs total) is adequate. Full midday sun can fade white blooms. Ensure good airflow to reduce disease.
