Grandiflora rose Strike It Rich is an old-fashioned garden rose of the modern era, and by this, I mean it’s the kind of rose that might have been found in the 1950’s or 1960’s when we worried whether our martini’s would be ready after work or whether the Russians were indeed coming (and in that order). A 2007 All-America Rose Selection, Strike It Rich was bred by Tom Carruth, who has a undeniable talent for hybridizing stunning and unusual roses (see Hot Cocoa for more evidence of Carruth’s awesome powers). Strike It Rich has a famous parent, Sutter’s Gold, AARS 1950, and thus the connection to the glory days (for some) of the post-war optimism of that time.
