There have been at least 3 climbing sports (Armstrong, USA 1935; Knight, Australia 1937; LeGrice, UK 1946) of ‘Golden Dawn’ introduced into commerce and there is, not surprisingly, no record of a comparative trial of them all together having been made.

Golden Dawn. (Hybrid Tea climber). aptly named. Just like a fresh Australian dawn (originally bred in Australia by Mr. Grant in 1929 - one of our unsung gems). Clear soft yellow with just a hint of soft dawn pink. Big voluptuous full flowers like cups and brimming with strong sweet perfume. It’s an energetic little Aussie. Vigorous and healthy, stands poor soil and cold, will take some shade 3.5m.

p198 ‘Golden Dawn Climbing' Large-flowered climber. The original large-flowered rose was raised by Patrick Grant of Sydney in 1929. It was very popular all over the world for many years and is still worth growing. The climbing version that appeared a few years later has retained its popularity better in the face of the newer yellows. The large, shapely flowers in pale yellow (they are hardly ‘golden’’) are very beautiful and fragrant. Foliage is greyish green and usually healthy, but do not expect much in the way of an autumn, or fall, display unless you feed and water the plant well after the first blooming. Sport from ‘Golden Dawn’; Repeat flowering. Fragrant.

'Golden Dawn, Climbing'  Climber   Yellow  Summer   +   P3   H2   ** 
This Climber was introduced from three sources: Armstrong of California in 1935, George  Knight & Sons of Homebush, New  South Wales in 1937, and E. B. Le Grice of North Walsham, Norfolk in 1947. In Britain we grow Le Grice's sport, and a very good one it is. The shoots are usually thick, closely clad with 'Golden Dawn's' attractive foliage, a little crinkle in it, a suggestion of colour to the leaf edge; the flowers are large, double, light yellow with a flush of red on the outside. Split centres are common,  but easily forgiven, as they are not usually noticed until the flower is well open. A good one for wall and fence; although vigorous it is not usually a tall plant.

G. A. Williams. Modern Roses [column]. ….10 to 14 feet….‘G. Dawn’ will make very strong canes of approximately the same length but very strong and thick, requiring much more room on a trellis and should produce more wood.

'Clg. Golden Dawn'. There are two distinct sports at least of this variety, one from U.S.A. and the other from New South Wales. Both appear identical and show vigorous climbing growth with yellow blooms as in the original. These will be welcome, particularly by exhibitors, as it is an invariable rule to find that better flowers are produced on climbing sports than on the dwarf form.
