Sea foam rose question

2 years ago

My Sea Foam rose is tied to a tall stake from which it sprawls over neighboring shrubs. It’s not the best look. I have read that it likes to be cut back hard, which the staking does’nt lend itself to. Can it be trained as a climber? What is the best way to use this beautiful rose?

Not any help to you, kitasel2, but decades ago, in a previous garden, I had it as a weeping standard. I loved it.

A HMF poster says Yes. Check out the parentage.

I view SF as a rose that can be whatever you want it to be. A few grow here (as shrubs). They may be 50 years old. They get cut down to a foot from the ground every few years.

I would love to have seen that! Maybe if I try my grafting experiment with some Multifluora I can see about doing a standard with her. Didn't you just love her leave her ? Love her leaves.
