Helpmefind now has 56 of the George Dawson roses listed, with varying amounts of information on parentages and dates. He bred his roses from about 1966 until his death in 1991. For many of us this is well within our lifetime and we would love more information to fill the gaps. Some of his roses with unknown parentages are:
1966 Shadow
<1968 Immaculate
c1968 Miss Melbourne
1970 Yellow Sunset
1972 David Ruston (we surely should be able to get that parentage - Margaret?)
1975 Nellie Neil (Can anyone from the firm, Australian Roses, help here?)
<1976 Diane
1977 Contribute
1977 Tranquil
1978 Dawson's Delight
<1979 Gee Dee
<1982 Yeti
<1983 Janice Heyes
1984 Tonimbuk
<1985 City of Wangaratta
<1987 Claire
<1987 Leviathan
c1987 Swashbuckle
1988 Keepit
c1988 Rene's Rose
c1990 Dawson's Yellow Climber
1990 Permeate Peace

And........ various other roses bred sometime before George's death in 1991 and released posthumously, mostly in 1995. Any information on the parentages (and dates) of Dreamboat, Ethical, Frolic, Heather Pudney, John Harris, Joy Pagram, Lauren Amy, Lisa Kent, Mandy Singleton, Mellow, Jennifer's Rose and Sir Edward's Rose would be wonderful. Even who these people were would help.
