Dickson's Delight does not come near Dicksons Bouquet, which reminds one of that gem of Roses, Picture, but the colour is quite distinct from Picture; the growth promises to be somewhat taller; the colour has been described as reddish apricot, but, whatever description is correct, it is definitely rich and attractive.

Dickson's Delight, HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1938) has 12 to 15 petals; moderate growth and is a definite disappointment. The raiser claims this to be the most brilliant orange colour yet seen in Roses, but on performance here 'Georges Chesnel' is superior in every way.
