Jackson Dawson, for a lifetime and until his death the gardener and propagator at the famous Arnold Arboretum, near Boston, first considered the value of Rosa multiflora and R. wichuraiana as parents... [he] successfully produced (in 1888) the yet [McFarland was writing in 1929] greatly admired 'Dawson' climber. He sent out 'Lady Duncan' as probably the first Wichuraiana hybrid, and his lovely 'Wm. C. Egan' in the same year united Wichuraiana and 'General Jacqueminot'. His little-known 'Sargent' rose, described by those who have it as a glorified apple-blossom, united both multiflora and Wichuraiana with the Hybrid Perpetual blood.

Wichuraiana Hybrid Roses
The Wm. C. Egan Rose is ranked among the choicest members of this large family, the rosy pink blossoms, with their sweet fragrance, giving a striking appearance to the great masses of foliage which clothe the strong canes. The individual flowers are large and very double, and are borne in profusion in late spring or early summer. The plant is of free, almost upright growth, with foliage of bright, lustrous green that persists until December. It makes itself at home wherever it is given any encouragement, and does not require any coddling or laborious attention. All the Wichuraianas are hardy and capable of caring for themselves wherever planted.
