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. The UK ‘Climbing Golden Dawn’ is one that came from LeGrice in Norfolk. It was awarded the National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate in 1946 and was released that year. It is like the bush form in all respects save in its climbing growth, which will extend to about average, and in the amount of late summer and autumn bloom, of which there is some but not nearly as much as in the bush form.

'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.
