This cherry has great flavor and falls into a harvest window between ‘Bing’ and ‘Lapins’. The cherry is very large, with 58% 8-row and larger in 2001. However, upon grading the cherries, 50% were sorted out as culls due to wind or frost damage. In addition, this has always been a marginally firm cherry with a firmness reading of 252 g/mm in 2002, with gibberellic acid, and about the same in 2001. ‘Sandra Rose’ is self-fertile, yet not very productive. Due to the low productivity and high tree vigor this variety would work well on a Gisela rootstock, perhaps even Gisela 5. ‘Sandra Rose’ blooms late, about 5 days after ‘Bing’ and should work well as a pollinizer for ‘Attika’, and maybe even ‘Regina’, although, in The Dalles it blooms 2-3 days ahead of ‘Regina’.
