Sally Holmes Shrub Versus Climber?
Comments (8)I have grown 'Pierre de Ronsard' (aka Eden) both as a shrub and as a climber. If you treat it as a shrub for a while it seems to give up on the whole idea of climbing. I'm liking it as climber better, though both are fine. There is actually more than one rose named 'Eden'. Perhaps this is the point of confusion. I have not had any problems with this PdR/Eden burning in the full sun, which is where I grow it. I am in zone 9b/Sunset 16, SF Bay area. It does get rust in the fall. I deal with it. This is one of the three roses that my DH Tom has told me are favorites of his, and I plan to grow them indefinitely. (The other two are 'Leander' and 'Tuscany Superb', all three very different roses.) Rosefolly...See MoreWill Sally Holmes grow here?
Comments (12)There were 3 podocarpus (fern pines) that were growing along the fence and they were getting huge and were so messy so they had to go. Roots could definitely be an issue. It's been 3 years since we got rid of them and last summer I threw 3 lantanas that I got off the $3 rack from Lowes into the space. They work fine but I need height. I'm trying to remember if I hit roots when planting them. I guess I'll be digging tomorrow to find out. For the spot out front. Clay soil that has not been amended. I think Sally will be ok there. We don't get rain often like we did this year and in future heavy rain years I can always get an attachment that drains the water to the street. I am constantly reinventing my yard so I'm not afraid to get rid or move something if it's not working but still like to research first. Thanks for the feedback!...See MoreBlush Noisette or Sally Holmes
Comments (10)If scent is important to you, Blush Noisette. If large splashes of pale pink and yellow, fading to cream then white like an enormous hydrangea would please you, then Sally Holmes. I would expect Sally Holmes to be a bit more "Arctic Hardy" than the Noisette simply from their genetics. Sally would also appear to be more shade tolerant due to her heavy dose of multiflora background. Sally's petals are also more durable in hot sun and water stress conditions. And, Sally seems to set fewer hips than Blush Noisette, at least in the conditions under which I've grown them. Both are lovely roses. You would probably enjoy both of them....See MoreHow shade tolerant is sally holmes ?
Comments (32)Vapor, she is clean here. I don't spray. The first year she didn't do much for me, but last year she might think she's ready and grew to a 4 ft tall decent plant. I grow her with Lyda, New Face and Doctor Robert Korns, these 4 are all wonderful in shade. (Thank RVR's hint.)...See MoreCori Ann - H0uzz violated my privacy
