Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Breeder's notes:
Silver Dawn takes the first part of its name from one parent, ‘Silver Moon’, and ‘Dawn’ because I hope this is the beginning of a new class of evergreen tropical, warm climate, disease resistant roses.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
A different parentage is mentioned in the 2012 reference.
