I ordered Sally Holmes just about a year ago, almost on a whim, because I wanted roses along my south-facing fence. I cannot believe how quickly and healthily she has grown in just one year!
She already has canes over 7 feet tall and is blooming beautifully—and it’s only April. I’m completely in love with this rose. The blooms this spring start as a soft, pale pink and then transition to white.
It has a lovely, mild fragrance, and the pollinators absolutely adore it. I'm in Zone 10, and she’s been thriving here with minimal fuss. I feed her with Heirloom Roses’ fish fertilizer once a month during the growing season, and she clearly loves it!
Highly recommend!
I bought two of these and they were delivered and planted as soon as they arrived after the frost danger ended for my area. They grew right away and then kind of paused over the super hot summer - we had almost 3 months of 95+ degree days however in the past month to 6 weeks, they have TAKEN OFF! I have one came on each that is at least 6 feet long and one has about 7-8 buds at the end. They have other canes that are starting to take off too. I couldn’t be happier with these roses. The blooms are simply gorgeous! I hope they cover my whole fence! Highly recommend.
Great. Prolific rose. Blooms all the time in profuse clusters. The leaves are a pretty deep green. Although the flowers are single they are large and very showy. Beyond beautiful. Grows very fast. It covers a lot of area so have room for this big, beautiful girl.
I bought eight Sally Holmes bare root, to plant on the south side of my home maybe ten years ago, in Zone 7, Renton, Washington. In one year they were ten feet tall with strong canes, covered with 5" pink tinged on the edge, roses in the Spring. In clusters! To me they looked like giant crabapple blossoms. I could see them out of every window on that side of my home. And they bloomed more white in the summer and were the last roses in bloom along with Mutabilis, the China rose, at Christmas. Sally has been introduced to my retirement garden here in Zone 10a, Cape Coral, Florida and was planted two weeks ago, leafed out nicely! I anticipate strong canes and no disease and no problems! I will be able to see her bloom, planted next to Don Juan, my favorite red climber on the East side of the house, from most of the windows in my home. By the way, Don had 15 roses all at once on his first bloom and this is the last day of December and he has 6 gorgeous dark red red 5.5" blooms in front of my home, if you are looking for a very fragrant dark red rose on a climber in southwest Florida! He has performed for me all over the country. This would be a good place to buy him!
