Suntan Beauty, Bred by Ernest D. Williams. Introduced 1989.

Breeding: ('Angel Face' X 'Golden Angel') X 'Yellow Jewel'.

Ernest D. Williams bred many Miniature roses in hsi years, but I suspect he will be most remembered for the unusually colored roses he created. 'Suntan Beauty' has to be my favorite of all the Williams roses I grow. 'Space Walk' is another of the "coffee" colored Williams roses that I like.

'Suntan Beauty' is a terrific little rose with loads of tan and russet colored blooms of wonderful shape. Why this miniature is not more well known is beyond me.
