white rose Sally Holmes

If you like the smaller growth habit single roses, then this is a great specimen to have. Not a lot of fragrance, but it has other charms! Like it's ability to thrive virtually anywhere, it's disease resistance, and the lovely fading petals. I don't have it myself, but if I were looking for a white single, this would be top of the list.
