Rose - Seafoam

Common Name:
Rose 'Seafoam'

Description:
Rose 'Seafoam' is a hardy and versatile groundcover rose, admired for its profusion of cascading creamy white blooms and vigorous trailing habit. The flowers are small, semi-double rosettes borne in generous clusters that repeat from late spring through summer and into autumn. As the blooms age, they soften to a blush or ivory tone, creating a delicate layered effect. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a healthy backdrop and excellent disease resistance. 'Seafoam' has a spreading, trailing growth habit that makes it ideal for covering embankments, spilling over walls, or softening the edges of garden beds. It can also be trained as a small climber with support or grown in large pots for a flowing effect. In Melbourne gardens, it thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and offers a long season of colour with minimal care.
