Golden Dawn. Modern. Large flowered hybrid tea. Medium yellow. Repeat flowering. Only a very pale rising sun is needed to match the color of ‘Golden Dawn’ which is closer to primrose than gold; that is not to decry the great virtues of this rose, a standby for nurseries in the days before ‘Peace’ brought real strength into yellow roses. Its light-colored blooms, tinged with pink on the outer petals, are rounded and full and have a surprising ability to shrug off bad weather. Theirs are among the very first large-flowered roses to bloom in summer; again a surprise in view of their large size. The scent is sweet and enduring, and in its heyday the variety was one of the best choices for a bed as well as being useful for exhibition. All that tells against it by comparison with post war yellows is that the dark gray-green foliage, good by the standards of that era, looks skimpy now - another measure of how the work of breeders has raised standards in recent years. Zones 4-9. Grant, Australia, 1929 ‘Elegante’ x ‘Ethel Somerset’

.....But one or two other Australian roses have made their mark overseas, most notably Patrick Grant’s Golden Dawn’. produced in 1929 from ‘Elegante’ x ‘Ethel Somerset’. ‘Golden Dawn’ according to Hazelwood’s, one of the leading nurseries of the day, “forged its way into the first twelve roses in England, America, Australia and New Zealand.” It was described as being “a rich sunflower yellow....which tones to lemon yellow as the flower fades.” It is Deane Ross again, who has put this rose back on the market.

Maureen Ross, SA: Budwood was sought from Peter Beales. UK, and Nigel Pratt, NZ but still important varieties were missing (for a historic rose collection in SA). A letter in the “Journal of Heritage Roses Australia” brought a quick response from members who still grew, or knew where to locate, some of the lost roses. Golden Dawn (HT 1929) was growing in Pt. Lincoln, SA. ‘Golden Dawn’ was thought long since gone, yet it is a most significant rose of Australian breeding and one of the few to receive overseas acknowledgement.
