Sally Holmes

This is another image that we can thank Southern California Edison for (not to mention my neighbor up the street with the flimsy tv antenna.) Sometimes it takes a good power outage to get me away from my computer and out to enjoy nature!

We found this beauty at Island View Nursery in Carpinteria. It is a hybrid shrub rose from the UK bred by Robert A. Holmes in 1976.
