Sally Holmes Climbing Rose

Great as a large shrub or a compact climber

Unusual flower form
Vigorous and disease resistant plant
Very popular climbing rose

Often grown as a climber, this world-famous rose provides huge clusters that resemble hydrangea heads – filled with buff-colored buds that open to white flowers. Despite their delicate appearance, the blooms last well, even in the heat. Vigorous, disease resistant, and very free-flowering. Blooms on new wood.
