Description

'Sally Holmes' is a tall, bushy shrub, 6 to 12 ft (185—365 cm) in height with a 4 to 6 ft (121—182 cm) spread. It can be grown as a climber, but needs to be staked in windy locations. Blooms are large, 4—5 in (10—12 cm) in diameter, and have a single petal form with 4-8 petals. Flowers are borne in long-stemmed, large clusters (10—40). The flowers are initially cream with pink hues, and yellow stamens, eventually turning white as the stamens drop off. Flowers last a long time in rain and hot weather. The rose has a mild, musky fragrance and glossy, dark green foliage. 'Sally Holmes' blooms in flushes throughout its growing season. The plant does best in hot climates, but can be grown in USDA zone 5b through 9b. It is disease resistant, but is prone to blackspot.[2][3]

Awards
gollark: - Some of Parliament wants it, others don't- The country seems pretty much 50/50 split on whether they want it- Nobody can agree on what it should be or how it should work
gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
