Treloar Roses says Victoria Gold is Victoria's rose of the year. It is released to commemorate the centenary of the Victorian Rose Society in 1999, the first Rose Society in Australia... this rose has double bright yellow blooms... In the cooler months the blooms have a fine red pencil edge...

Ross Roses says 'Victoria Gold' (WELgold) resembles its parent 'Gold Bunny' but is much deeper in color.
