In 1888 Jackson Thornton Dawson (1841-1916) produced the first Rosa multiflora hybrid rose in the United States. He would become the second rose breeder in the world to use another species, R. wichurana. That multiflora, named ‘Dawson’, is a strong climber with clusters of fragrant, double, dainty, pink blossoms still grown today. Not cold, nor disease, nor neglect trouble this plant

In California Edward Gill of the Albany & Berkeley area deserves mention. Though his propagated roses have not survived, he appears to have been the first Californian to produce his own roses and introduce them commercially. One of these roses was a tea, ‘Sarah Isabella Gill’, offered in his nursery catalogue in 1884; whether this was a sport or one of his own seedlings is not clear.
