Sutter's Gold®
Elegant double flower, cupped, with a diameter of 13-15 cm, filled with 25-35 intense golden yellow petals that fade into lemon yellow; very peculiar the bud of Sutter's Gold®: long, elegant, red, which at the opening of the flower displays red spots that fade into pink on the lower page of the outer petals.
Repeat flowering; the flower gives off a good scent of quince.
It's a strong bush with a vigorous growth, it is very thorny and reaches 130 cm in height and 120 cm in width. Good resistance to diseases; it has glossy, leathery dark green foliage.
Selected by C.Swim in 1946, this variety is still popular in many countries due to its qualities; over the years it has won various awards: 1946 Gold medal at the Portland rose trials; 1948 Gold medal at Bagatelle (Paris); 1949 Gold medal at the Geneva competition; 1950 All-America Rose Selection; 1966 ARS perfume award at the ARS Fall National Show.
It is named after Johann August Sutter (1803 Bern – 1880 Washinton D.C.) who emigrated to California in 1834 from his native Switzerland (originally the surname was Suter) and in 1839 colonized a vast area in the valley of the Sacramento river naming it New Helvetia. Gold was found here in 1848 and the ensuing chaos brought Johann August to ruin.
