Climbing rose 'Sally Holmes'

Climbing Rose 'Sally Holmes' (Rosa 'Sally Holmes'). Rosa 'Sally Holmes', a climbing rose with natural charm and an almost botanical appearance, is distinguished by its large, single to semi-double creamy white, slightly pearlescent flowers, grouped in vast, airy bouquets. Its prominently visible heart of golden stamens intensely attracts pollinators and brings a much sought-after luminous dimension to contemporary and naturalistic gardens. Its light, fresh fragrance accompanies an exceptionally generous and prolonged bloom. Unlike climbing tea hybrids, it offers a spectacular mass effect rather than isolated flowers, making it an excellent choice for elegantly covering arches and pergolas.

To plant the climbing rose 'Sally Holmes', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 2 m (6.6 ft) to organize this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 3 m (10 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
