Notes:
  • “Alexander Patrick Dickson (1926-2012) began working for Dickson Nurseries in 1957 and began hybridizing roses in 1958. During his career, Dickson developed many successful rose cultivars, including Rosa ‘Sea Pearl’, Rosa ‘Irish Gold’, Rosa ‘Red Gold’ (AARS) and Rosa ‘Red Devil’. Dickson created the new rose cultivar, ‘Elina’ from the white floribunda ‘Nana Mouskouri’ (Dickson, 1975) and the apricot hybrid tea ‘Lolita’ (Kordes, 1972). The rose was later used to hybridize one child plant, floribunda Rosa ‘Whisper’.” --- (Wilkipedia, “Rosa ‘Elina’”). retrieved January 2021.
