About Sally Holmes Climbing Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘Sally Holmes’
Crafted by Robert A. Holmes, this iconic hybrid musk rose was introduced in 1976. It produces large, single creamy‑white blooms (~4–5″ / 10–12 cm) with golden stamens, typically displayed in generous clusters. The lightly musky-floral scent is subtle and pleasing. It grows vigorously as a climber (up to 12 ft), with glossy dark green, nearly thornless canes. A repeat bloomer from late spring through fall, it's praised for its disease resistance, hardiness, and pollinator appeal—earning multiple awards, including the Portland Gold Medal and induction into the Rose Hall of Fame.
