The Coaching Club American Oaks was the one moment of glory in Rose d'Or's racing career, and she needed an 11-pound weight concession from American co-champion 3-year-old filly Eyelid to get the job done. She did not add to her reputation as a producer.

As an individual
A bay mare; no further information available.
As a producer
Rose d'Or produced 11 named foals, of which nine started and four won. None of her foals achieved anything of significance on the track or in the breeding shed.
Connections
Rose d'Or was bred by George D. Widener. She was owned by E. F. Whitney, later passing to the ownership of S. K. Nichols. Her next owner was J. O. Keene, and she finished her broodmare career as the property of J. E. Mason.
Pedigree notes
Rose d'Or is inbred 5x5 to dual English Classic winner and seven-time English champion sire Stockwell. Her sire Garry Herrmann (by Esher) won the 1900 Champagne Stakes but may have been ruined by an excessively heavy juvenile campaign; after winning 18 of his 25 starts, he was only able to start twice at 3 before developing a problem with respiratory bleeding that forced him into retirement. Clio Hogan's Index to Stakes Winners 1865-1967 credits him with having sired seven other stakes winners.
Rose d'Or is a half sister to Rose of Gold (by Top Gallant), dam of juvenile stakes winners Gold Tassel (by Star Shoot) and Inchcape (by Friar Rock). Her dam Golden Rose was produced from the Hermit mare La Trappe, a half sister to 1893 Goodwood Cup winner Barmecide (by Barcaldine); to Lauretta (by Petrarch), second dam of 1911 Two Thousand Guineas and Derby Stakes winner Sunstar and 1914 One Thousand Guineas and Oaks Stakes winner Princess Dorrie; and to Spring Gun, third dam of 1925 Kentucky Derby winner Flying Ebony.

Fun facts
- Rose d'Or means “rose of gold” in French.
- The paternal granddam of Rose d'Or, the Longfellow mare Silk Gown, was so little thought of that she was stripped of her registration papers and sold for US$25 not long after the birth of Garry Herrmann, who was her last registered foal.
