Golden State, Meilland 1937, [Souvenir de Claudius Pernet X (Charles P Kilham X seedling)]   After more than 60 years this variety is still available in California, the ' Golden State 'after which it was named, and also in Western Australia.  The flowers are not as golden as the title of the rose suggests; they open light lemon yellow with a tawny cast, deepening in color as they open. The flowers are carried on firm upright stems, sometimes several together, sometimes singly. They open from urn-shaped young flowers into cupped blooms full of ruffled petals, and have a sharp fruity scent. Blooming continues through summer and autumn and in a collection of pre-war Large-flowered Roses this variety can still hold its own for vigor. It has dark green leaves that are large, leathery and generally healthy. Zones 5 -9

Golden State Large-flowered. One of Francis Meilland's early successes, 'Golden State' won the 1937 gold medal in Portland, where it was photographed fifty-three years later. It seems to have changed colour during this time, for it is definitely not deep yellow, as it was described in its youth.  It is now almost cream, opening from pink-tinted buds. The foliage is still healthy, a glossy dark green, and the flowers are large and cupped.. The 'Golden State' is California; Meilland named this rose with an eye to the American market. Do not confuse this rose with a later rose of the same name. 'Souvenir de Claudius Pernet' x ('Charles P. Kilham' seedling). Repeat flowering.
