We have a six foot plant of 'White Gold' in our garden that is about 20 years old. Each spring when it blooms from top to bottom with delicious trusses, we realize that this is something special. The flowers are a pure stark white rolled back at the edges as if trying to show every inch of the golden blotch within. The blotch begins as a burning orange deep in the throat, then widens and lightens into rays of golden yellow reaching out onto the upper lobe. Truly beautiful. ('Mrs. J. G. Millais' x 'Cheyenne')
