'Golden Dawn, Cl.' rose References
Book (Dec 1998) Page(s) 377. There have been at least 3 climbing sports (Armstrong, USA 1935; Knight, Australia 1937; LeGrice, UK 1946) of ‘Golden Dawn’ introduced into commerce and there is, not surprisingly, no record of a comparative trial of them all together having been made
Book (1978) Page(s) 142. 'Golden Dawn, Climbing' Climber Yellow Summer + P3 H2 ** This Climber was introduced from three sources: Armstrong of California in 1935, George Knight & Sons of Homebush, New South Wales in 1937, and E. B. Le Grice of North Walsham, Norfolk in 1947. In Britain we grow Le Grice's sport, and a very good one it is. The shoots are usually thick, closely clad with 'Golden Dawn's' attractive foliage, a little crinkle in it, a suggestion of colour to the leaf edge; the flowers are large, double, light yellow with a flush of red on the outside. Split centres are common, but easily forgiven, as they are not usually noticed until the flower is well open. A good one for wall and fence; although vigorous it is not usually a tall plant.

There are two distint sports at least of this variety, one from the U.S.A. and the other from New South Wales. Both appear identical and show vigorous climbing growth, with yellow blooms as in the original. These will be welcome, particularly by exhibitors, as it is the invariable rule to find that better flowers are produced on climbing sports than on the dwarf form. E.
