Rosa Sea Foam - Groundcover Rose

The 'Sea Foam' rose bush is a vigorous, charming landscape or ground cover. It seduces with vigour, good health, and almost frothy white flowering. With a spreading habit, this bush produces bouquets of white rosettes, slightly pinker in the centre, with a light fragrance. They bloom on elegant, shiny, dark green foliage. Resistant to diseases, it requires little attention and care from the gardener, even for beginners. This unparalleled rose bush works wonders in front of taller shrubs, in large borders, along pathways... It tolerates heat and partial shade!

The 'Sea Foam' rose bush is a creation by Schwartz (U.S.A) dating back to 1964. It results from cross-breeding between the climbing rose 'White New Dawn' and 'Pinocchio'. The tiny flowers of 'Sea Foam' are gathered in terminal clusters. This small bush has a spreading and very flexible bushy habit, wider than it is tall. It will reach approximately 1m in height with a spread of 1.50m in a few years. The double flowers, 4cm in diameter, with 35 petals, have a pompom shape. They are abundantly produced in May-June and again from September to October. If the soil remains moist in July-August, the bush can produce another wave of flowers. Their colour, predominantly white, turns cream-pink in the centre as the hours pass. This vigorous variety develops elegant deciduous foliage that is well-filled and composed of small, shiny, dark green leaves. They are not very susceptible to diseases under good growing conditions. Its long, flexible stems are thorny.

The 'Sea Foam' rose bush adapts to all soils that are not too dry and all climates, which allows it to be welcomed without reservation in many regions. It works wonders as a border, in a flower bed, or on a large slope where it will cover the ground. It can also be planted in groups of 3 plants, arranged in a triangle, or as a standalone on a lawn. Plant it in mass or in combination with the roses 'The Fairy' and 'Astronomia', two excellent pink landscape ground cover roses. It can also highlight the layout of a pathway or borders composed of taller shrubs.
