Rosa 'Soleil d'Or' is a Foetida hybrid rose cultivar, bred by Joseph Pernet-Ducher and introduced on November 1, 1900.

Orange-yellow outer petals curve inward with a pink-rose interior and a yellow reverse.

They bred their new rose varieties using controlled pollination with great success and were able to create many popular new cultivars, including 'Madame Caroline Testout' (1890) and 'Mme Abel Chatenay' (1895).

[4] Two years later, he noticed a new seedling growing alongside the original Foetida hybrid planting.

It grew to be an exceptional floriferous rose with large blooms and a unique and beautiful blended color of pink, peach, yellow, and apricot.

[3] After Jean Pernet died in 1896,[5] Pernet-Ducher continued their rose breeding program.

During his long career, Pernet-Ducher created an entirely new color range of roses, which included bright yellow, apricot, copper, new orange shades, lavender, new blended colors and bicolors.
