Description

'Seashell' is a tall vigorous shrub, up to 4 ft (90 cm) in height with a 3 ft (90 cm) spread. Petals open almost flat and are typically 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, with a medium-double bloom form of 17-25 petals. Flowers are orange when they first open, before turning a salmon-pink color, and finally fading to pale apricot pink. The rose has a mild fragrance. The flowers are borne singly and have a long bloom time. 'Seashell' is a disease resistant plant and thrives in USDA zone 4 and warmer. The foliage is large, healthy and dark green.[1] [2]
