SUNSET SKY (Roe). For those who liked old Golden Symphony, here is one with a much cleaner appearance and more class. It flowers early. I think the bumblebee put some Progenitor-descendant on the pink pod parent. A classic with golden yellow standards ard lavender falls edged gold. Fertile both ways. A feather in Bernice Roe's cap, surely, and it didn't get an HM. Shame, you judges!
