George Folliott Harison (March 5, 1776 Hurst, Wokinghom Borough, Berkshire [?] - January 5, 1846 New York City)
An American lawyer living in Manhattan in the early 1800s.
[From Rose Letter, February 2013, p. 3:] Around 1830 on his family estate in then-rural Manhattan, a quiet lawyer, George Folliott Harison, kept a greenhouse where he bred a fully double, darkly yellow rose that came to be called ‘Harison’s Yellow’
[From EverybodyWiki:] George Folliott Harison (1776–1846) was an attorney in New York City. He never married and shared an office with his father and brother on Nassau Street. His father was Richard Harison, a prominent lawyer. Both George and his father were avid gardeners. George created a yellow rose known as "Harison's Yellow". It became commercially available in 1830. It grew on the Harison estate known as Mt. Sinai in present-day Chelsea, bordered by 8th and 9th Avenue, and 30th and 31st Streets. There were many commercial nurseries in the area...George Harison was interested in other plants besides roses, and bred the camellia Camellia japonica var. ‘Harrisoni’
