Notes
'Sea Foam' rose (Rosa 'Sea Foam') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. White flowers are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Ernest Schwartz bred it in 1963.
Pairs well with Obedient plant, Jackmanii clematis, and Japanese forest grass.
