GREEN ICE – white dwarf-mini rose - Moore
compact clusters of icy-white to green-tinted blooms make GREEN ICE a natural choice for small British gardens where you want dependable colour with minimal fuss and it copes well even where strong winds and rain are frequent. Its miniature size and spreading habit create a neat, low border or soft groundcover that sits perfectly by paths, drives and front doors. The dense, glossy foliage helps it look tidy between flushes, while good self-cleaning means many spent flowers drop away on their own, reducing deadheading. Fully hardy across most of the UK, its lifespan is supported by the own-root form, which can regenerate from the base and settle steadily into clays or lighter soils. Ideal in beds or a 40–50 litre container, it fits cottage-style mixes and contemporary designs alike. Year by year it builds up: first strong roots, then bushier shoots, and by the third season full ornamental impact and reliable flowering transform a modest space into a quietly distinctive feature.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden edging along paths or drives
The low, spreading habit forms a tidy edging that stays within bounds, so it frames paths and drives without constant clipping. Dense foliage covers bare soil and the self-cleaning flowers help keep the line looking smart with limited deadheading, suiting busy homeowners.
Small feature bed near the front door
Its unusual white-to-green bloom colour draws the eye without overwhelming a small space, giving interest right where visitors arrive. Reliable repeat flowering and compact growth provide a stable, long-lived focus that fits both traditional and modern entrances for aesthetics-focused beginners.
Low-maintenance groundcover in sunny spots
The plant’s broad spread and compact height allow it to knit together into a flowering carpet that softens the base of taller shrubs. Own-root growth means it gradually fills gaps and recovers well after pruning, keeping groundcover effective for years with modest care for family gardeners.
Mixed cottage-style border with perennials and grasses
Clusters of small, cool-toned blooms contrast beautifully with looser perennials like coreopsis or airy grasses, adding structure at the border front. Its repeated flowering through the season brings rhythm to cottage mixes while staying easy to manage for cottage-garden enthusiasts.
Containers and large patio pots (40–50 litres or more)
The miniature stature and spreading habit suit big patio pots where it won’t outgrow the container yet still makes a generous dome of flowers. In a 40–50 litre pot the roots have space to stabilise and support long-term performance, ideal for balcony and patio owners.
Informal low hedge or edging strip
Planted in a row at the recommended spacing, plants join to form a soft, low hedge that gently defines lawn edges or separates drive and border. Own-root bushes respond well to various pruning styles, so you can keep them neat or relaxed without technical pruning skills for hobby gardeners.
Small urban gardens and courtyards
Its modest height and width fit compact plots where every square metre counts, giving the feel of a rose garden without dominating the space. Good overall hardiness and adaptability make it reliable in paved or partially enclosed areas often faced by urban garden owners.
Exposed or coastal-leaning family gardens
A low, spreading frame and dense foliage help it stand up to gusty, rainy conditions, so you still get a neat display even when weather is changeable and breezy, which is reassuring for coastal and windy-site gardeners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-rimmed path – Line a front path with GREEN ICE, interspersed with lavender and catmint for fragrance and soft blues; ideal if you want a classic cottage feel without frequent clipping – perfect for time-pressed traditionalists
Cool-toned patio pot – Plant one or three GREEN ICE in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot, underplant with white bacopa and trailing ivy for a frothy, elegant look – ideal for small patios and balconies
Green-and-white border – Combine GREEN ICE with white foxgloves, hostas and ornamental grasses to create a calm, textural front border – suited to homeowners seeking a restrained, sophisticated palette
Soft groundcover drift – Use loose drifts of GREEN ICE at the foot of taller shrubs or small trees to hide bare soil and provide season-long flower interest – ideal for low-effort family back gardens
Miniature showcase bed – Create a small square or circular bed devoted to dwarf roses, with GREEN ICE as the main variety and a gravel path around – perfect for enthusiasts wanting structure in a limited space
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
GREEN ICE miniature rose, commercial type dwarf mini rose, from the Mini – dwarf rose collection; ARS exhibition name ‘Green Ice’, premium gold quality, authenticity verified for UK sale.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Ralph S. Moore at Sequoia Nursery, USA, from (Rosa wichuraiana × ‘Floradora’) × ‘Jet Trail’; introduced and registered in 1971, making it a well-proven, long-established garden miniature.
Awards and recognition
Recognised internationally, including a Certificate of Merit in New Zealand in 1973 and induction into the American Rose Society Miniature Rose Hall of Fame in 2001 for enduring garden performance.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, spreading miniature shrub, typically 40–50 cm high and 70–90 cm wide, slightly thorny with dense, dark green glossy foliage, forming a neat, low mound that lends itself to edging and containers.
Flower morphology
Small double cup-shaped blooms (around 0.5–1.5 inches), usually in clusters, with 26–39 petals; remontant habit with abundant repeat flushes, many spent flowers dropping naturally thanks to good self-cleaning.
Colour data and phenology
Base colour pure white, often taking on a delicate pastel green tint; flowers may appear whiter in heat and greener in cooler weather, with medium colour retention and subtle shifts rather than strong fading.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicately sweet fragrance but very weak, generally only noticeable at close range; grown primarily for its distinctive colour effect and form rather than scent, though open blooms do expose stamens to some pollinators.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small spherical hips, roughly 5–7 mm, coloured orange-red; visually modest but adding a light seasonal accent without significantly affecting the overall flowering or neatness of the plant.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Fully hardy in most UK regions (approx. USDA zone 5b, RHS H7) with medium disease resistance; tolerates heat reasonably well but benefits from watering in extended dry spells and from standard preventive care.
Horticultural recommendations
Best for containers, edging, borders, groundcover and hanging baskets; plant at 50–90 cm depending on use, tolerates partial shade, and as an own-root plant establishes steadily into a durable, easily managed shrub.
GREEN ICE offers compact repeat flowering, a distinctive white-to-green colour effect and long-term stability from its own-root form, making it a thoughtful choice if you would like a reliable, low-growing rose for your garden.

Product Identification Data
Product Name:
GREEN ICE – white dwarf-mini rose - Moore
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Flower Colour Description:
The petals' base colour is pure white, which, with ageing, acquires a delicate pastel green tint.
Closed Bud:
Snow-white bud with a subtle greenish sheen at the tip.
Newly Opened Flower:
The newly unfurling petals are white, with a subtle powdery green veil at the centre.
Full Bloom:
When fully open, the outer petals are white and a soft greenish tone appears at the base of the inner petals.
Before Fading:

Colour Fading Description:
In hot conditions it tends to remain rather whitish, while in cooler weather it develops a stronger greenish tone; pronounced fading is not typical.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double-form flowers that, when fully open, reveal the stamens, so the variety moderately attracts pollinators because stamen accessibility is only partial.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
A double-flowered variety that, when fully open, exposes the stamens, making it partially pollinator-friendly.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
