This picture is a bit over exposed. Sea Foam produces white to cream to shell pink flowers, depending on the weather. It is one of the thornier shrubs out there. The rose guys cannot agree in which category is belongs. I put it under ramblers, because that is what it does for me, given the chance. I need to move it to a better location, so it can get as large as it wants. It is the hardiest rose in my garden. It withstands ANY weather, gets NO disease, and blooms constantly. It also is very easy to root. This plant is a daughter of a plant in Mom's garden. The day I moved, I badly wanted to take the original Sea Foam with me, but it was too big. I poked around with a shovel and found this plant, which had tip-rooted off of the mother plant. I dug it up and planted it in Norman in my first rent house. I had to move out of that rent house (long story, FBI, tell ya later...) three months later, and I took this plant with me to my second rent house. I was there for three years. I had to move Sea Foam, because it got too big for its area. When I dug it up, it had TWO plants joined by one umbilical root. So I planted on on the East and the other on the West side of the garden. When I moved to my present house (which we now own), I dug up only one of them. I was also weeding in the original spot of the garden and found a plant of Sea Foam that must've grown from a piece of root left in the ground when I moved it. I gave this plant to a friend of mine, who also moved it, and it's a happy plant as well. Its flowers are fragrant, smelling of green apples! This rose is definitely on my top ten list.
