Sam Ward netted twice before half-time to give Seamer a 2-1 lead.
Rosedale started the second half brilliantly, Alastair Wilkinson setting up Tom Bell to level from close range.
Rosedale piled on the pressure and great work from Jonathan Seller and Butler led to Seamer scoring an own goal.
Rosedale continued to pile the pressure on and Alastair Wilkinson nutmegged a defender, driving into the box before laying it back for Aiden Taylor to curl it in to the far corner from 15 yards to make it 4-2.
Seamer had many chances to get back into the cup-tie, including a goal-line clearance by Rosedale’s Louis Playle-Watson.
Seamer’s man of the match was Jack Adams for some great saves from point blank range and Josh Lewis for his relentless work rate and great work on the ball, Kris Tate and Brad Walton also impressing.
