| Botanical Name | Rosa x 'Meiryezza' (Ice Cap™) |
| Description | A superstar in the Houston and Willis area for its incredible resistance to black spot, mildew, and rust—even in our intense humidity. Ice Cap™ offers a dense, mounded habit and repeat blooms of pure white. For best results in our local clay, plant in a raised bed with plenty of organic matter to ensure the drainage and nutrient levels roses crave. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (At least 6+ hours) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; regular deep watering at the base of the plant is best. Avoid overhead watering to further minimize any potential foliage issues. |
| Zones | 5 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced rose fertilizer starting in early spring and continue through the growing season for maximum bloom production. |
| Pruning | Prune back by about one-third in late winter (February in Southeast Texas) to encourage vigorous new growth and heavy spring blooming. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
We were looking for white roses to plant in our Never Forget Garden and our choice wasn't available but the 'Ice Cap' was suggested as a preferable rose and it has thrived, even in the heat! Thank you!!
