Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rosa 'Sally Holmes' offers dramatic and continuous flower displays from spring to fall with large, elegant, pure white to creamy white flowers sometimes with a touch of pale pink from pink and yellow buds held in large clusters. She is almost always in bloom! Light fragrance. Plants are vigorous and floriferous with excellent disease resistance. The nearly thornless canes can reach 10 feet tall, sometimes more. 'Sally Holmes' can also be grown as a large shrub rose. Blooms on new wood. Heat tolerant. The single flowers are attractive to bees.
Dawn (Eric's wife) saw this rose somewhere and really liked it. I found a plant and it is amazing! It is growing on a trellis and is 10' x 15' with peachy pink buds and large clusters of white flowers all summer. It's also very easy going with no pests
Large clusters of peachy buds open to creamy-white blooms and give this climber an almost hydrangea-like look. Disease resistant and a heavy bloomer, too! Bloom Season: Ready Repeater. Scent: Slight Musky. Flower Size:3 inches. Origin: Holmes, UK 1976.
