Sally Holmes Rose
A White Climbing RoseSally Holmes rose, what a lovely white rose bush with an outstanding floral display, as the picture of the shrub rose Sally Holmes attests to. It is a very easy to grow rose and it's easy to train on a fence because the size is manageable. I think it's one of the best smaller white roses that performs magnificently anywhere it's planted. It looks best against a darker support or facade, as the lower picture attest to. It's one of the best white roses for fences I can think of as well as for small town gardens and balconies and decks. It would also work for a large container with a trellis inserted in it.
This is a very popular white climbing rose. It is sometimes grown as a shrub, but behaves best as a climber. It has creamy white single flowers, with just a hint of pink, and a crown of yellow stamens. The lovely buds are coral pink and pointed. There is a lovely rose fragrance. The long arching canes have glossy deep green leaves. In milder climates it's best grown as a climber, reaching to 15 feet tall. Train it on a fence, trellis, or pillar. This wonderful rose actually tolerates a bit of shade. There is a stunning display of flowers in late spring or early summer, followed by repeat bloom throughout the season. Sally Holmes is resistant to most common rose diseases. Zones 5-9, Climbing height 10-15 feet.
Here is another picture of this wonderful white climber. I think it looks smashing against this deep coral painted house. Always pay attention to the background colors when chosing climbing roses. White Rose Meanings and Picture Of White Roses
