Summer Sunrise from the Dwarf project was selected by Suze and named by Grub - obviously it is a "draft" name, and realizing that there is an existing variety, we may want to change the name (hear that, Grub!). Also, it is being tested this year against Summertime Gold - they may actually be so similar as to be considered the same new variety, so the Summer Sunrise name would vanish.
