It was maybe three years ago that my friend Felicity gave me a rooted cutting of a rose which she had rooted successfully herself but had forgotten the name of it. It is a super plant with seemingly disease resistant leaves which are glossy green. The large cluster of flowers are pale apricot colour at the bud stage and then open to white. There is a hint of pink as they fade. They are scented (why have roses with no scent?). Mine has grown into a large shrub and has been oblivious to all the extremes of weather and is doing very well on our heavy clay soil. Today we had visitors to the garden and the name has now been revealed by one of them as Rosa Sally Holmes. I shall definitely take some cuttings so hopefully there will be some for sale in the nursery.
