Our local HD had a lot of 5g "Red Iceberg" roses today.
Hmmmmmmmm.."Red Iceberg" ??? (I think someone posted about this a while back ?)

Looking at them I was convinced they are actually La Sevillana (or "Sevillana" )
Anyway, I had to return to the store a few hours later. Before I went back there I stopped at home and picked a stem of my La Sevillana and took it with me to compare it to what they are calling "Red Iceberg".
Sure enough, they match.
How can growers sell roses with fraudulent names like that ?
