Here in coastal Virginia this rose will quickly spread beyond the four feet diameter if grown as a shrub. Both mine and another two year old plant here are easily six feet across and appear to just be getting started! I'm switching to liquid feeding, as scratching anything around the base of Sea Foam is just impossible due to many heavily-armed canes and dense growth. A superb landscape rose with beautiful, healthy foliage. The pure white blooms contrast with glossy small dark-green foliage.

I'm in Northern VA and have been eyeing this rose for some time. I have an area I'd like to cover in front of the cable/phone meters but didn't want to dig there because of the lines. Thanks very much for the update on the size. I use liquid feed - Maxicrop with Iron - and highly recommend it.

I was very disappointed in this rose. I planted it in the spring of 2007 and it never grew very well all year and barely bloomed at all either. It did not survive my zone 5/6 northwest missouri winter. I have heard all the good reviews of this rose and it makes me think that maybe I just got a lemon bush the first time around so I may try and grow this one again as I love good yellow roses and thought that this one would be a good one to grow.

I planted mine this spring - April 2008 - and it has grown and bloomed very well. I purchased it from Roses Unlimited, an own root rose supplier. That may make a difference in this case. The one I bought from Jackson and Perkins last year didn't survive more than 6 to 8 months. It's a beautiful rose and it may be worth your while to get it from Roses Unlimited. I've bought a lot of roses from them and been very happy with the quality.

From the photo, it looks as if the rose is growing against the house without the support of a trellis, etc. Is that correct? It also looks as if only a few main canes are supporting the balance. Is that correct?

Actually, there are a few horizontal wires to which the plant is loosely attached.
