Sally Holmes Rose
was introduced in 1976 and is a cross between Ballerina, a hybrid musk and
Ivory Fashion, a Floribunda. A single
rose of five petals with bloom size of 3” to 4” across with yellow stamens. Sally
Holmes Rose is classified as a shrub but it is so vigorous, it can easily
be grown as a climber. I have seen Sally Holmes Rose at a friend’s front yard and it is quite a sight. The rose grows all the way to the second floor,
it has to be tied strongly to the wall for support. It can grow from 6’ as a shrub and up to 12’
as a climber with almost thornless canes.
Sally Holmes Rose is
considered a white shrub rose but her tight buds will appear light apricot
maturing to white with a tint of pink at the edges. Foliage is glossy and very disease-resistant. It is also shade tolerant. It has a sweet fragrance. If you are an exhibitor, it constantly wins
awards at the show table. Sally Holmes Rose is truly a
spectacular rose.
Awards:
Baden-Baden GM 1960
Glasgow – Fragrance 1993
Portland GM 1996
