'New Dawn' is a rose I have selected--due to its color, significance of name, and the fact that it probably would have been available to the lay gardener in the early 1950's--to be included in a story I am writing. For Zone 7 in Alabama, does anyone know where this rose could have been purchased? (I am guessing through a mail-order catalog.) Also, I am looking for a popular public place (i.e. famous rose garden) in the south or on the east coast where it might have been grown and available for viewing. I need to be historically accurate, and I would appreciate any information. Thank you.

Roy Hennessey in Scappoose, Oregon carried 'New Dawn' in his 1954-55 catalogue and he used to ship by mail order. Actually you could write a whole book about Roy and his catalogues.

Wasn't Hennessey great ? I would have loved to have known him.

There are several tabs at the top of each rose page. You might want to look at the REFERENCES tab, the COMMENTS tab, the GARDENS tab and, of course, the BUY FROM tab. There is a wealth of good information under those tabs.

Biltmore House has rose gardens now. I have the impression that these always existed even if in a smaller form. You could check this.

I can't search as a premium member. Perhaps your software takes longer than 10 minutes to register my membership, and I should be more patient. I knew that could be a problem with my approach to growing roses! Thanks for looking into this and making sure everything is right. Cissy

Cissy - you have the Premium Member red star next to your name so all should be okay.
Try signing out and then signing in again. Then search for a rose through Search/Lookup.
