Sally Holmes is a famous Shrub Rose loved and admired around the world for its prolific flowering and excellent disease resistance.
It is interesting to note that this rose was bred by an amateur rose breeder, Robert Holmes, in the United Kingdom in 1976 and it was subsequently introduced by Fryer’s Nursery Ltd.
Sally Holmes produces abundant attractive apricot pointed buds and beautiful, almost single, (4 – 8 petals) creamy white blooms with a coronet of bright yellow stamens and mild fragrance, borne in large clusters of 10 to 25 per stem. It repeat flowers in flushes throughout the entire growing season after dead-heading.
