W. C. Thorn. What's In A Name. George Dickson who died in 1914, was the grandfather of Alex Dickson, the present head of the firm. 'George Dickson', the rose, was introduced in 1912, when Exhibition box blooms were judged supreme. For many years 'George Dickson' was the favourite crimson rose of box exhibitors - indeed, it was not until 1934 that 'George Dickson' failed to head the list of roses for exhibition, surely a record. Hugh Dickson was a brother of George and as a rose somewhat older and only slightly less famous.

A bush George Dickson in Mrs. M. Brice's garden at Mahana showed climbing tendencies last year,  At our pruning demonstration it was cut back hard except for one long shoot.  This year it has grown two more six foot growths, and it will be interesting to see how it develops.  
(Although George Dickson is classed as a bush rose, it often sends up long canes somewhat resembling a climber - Ed,)

Frank Penn, N.Z.  The Recommended Roses. 
Dame Edith Helen, selected by nearly all the Australian States, is a "wash-out" in this Dominion, and the same applies to George Dickson. One may get a really good bloom of these every few years, if lucky, but 99 per cent. of the blooms are clumsy and of poor shape.
