Notes:

• “The floribunda Americans know as ‘Iceberg’ comes from Germany where it goes by the more endearing ‘Schneewittchen,’ or “Snow White,” as in Seven Dwarfs.” --- Brenner & Scanniello, (A Rose by Any Name, page 197).
  
  
• “Because of its positive qualities, ‘Iceberg’ was an important parent of the English Roses bred by David Austin and others: 1983- ‘Graham Thomas’ and ‘Perdita;’ 1984- ‘Belle Story’, ‘Dove’ and ‘Heritage’; 1985- ‘Emanuel’; 1986- ‘Claire Rose’, ‘English Garden’ and ‘Swan.’”  ---  (Wilkipedia), “‘Rosa ‘KORbin’” retrieved February 2021.
