Notes:
  • “The Plant Patent Act of 1930 granted the breeder or discoverer of a new plant variety the right to control its propagation and distribution for 17 years, after that it was common property. ‘New Dawn’ has historical significance because it holds the first plant patent ever granted.” --- Aggie-horticulture, tamu.edu

  • “The yardstick against which all repeat flowering climbers are judged. In 1997 'New Dawn' was voted the most popular rose in the   world at the 11th World Convention of Rose Societies.” --- Heirloom Roses website, www.heirloomroses.com  

  • New Dawn was one of the original roses planted in the Laura Conyers Smith Rose Garden based on a 1932 hand-drawn map. As of 2021, there are currently more than ten ‘New Dawn’ climbers growing in the garden.
