Pedro Dot was born on March 28, 1885, in San Filieu Llobregat near Barcelona, Spain. In an article, Pedro Dot & The Spanish Tradition (American Rose Magazine, November 1999), Bunny Skran wrote: "Undoubtedly, Dot's most successful rose, and one with which his name will always be associated, is 'Nevada'..."
