DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Sally Holmes’ is a hybrid musk shrub rose that bears large single creamy-white blooms with a golden eye, produced in generous clusters from late spring through fall. The lightly musky fragrance drifts from the flowers, which open atop glossy dark green, nearly thornless canes. Mature plants display a vigorous, arching habit that can be trained as a climber or allowed to form a spreading shrub. Its repeat-flowering nature ensures a steady display, while the clean foliage supports pollinators and enhances its ornamental appeal.
Bred in the United Kingdom by Robert A. Holmes in 1976, this rose is a cross of ‘Ivory Fashion’ and ‘Ballerina’ and has received notable distinctions including Portland Gold Medal (1993) and induction into the Rose Hall of Fame (2012). Celebrated for its robustness and seasonal richness, it remains a beloved choice for classic and mixed garden settings.
