Dickson Roses

Introducing themselves as breeders at the National Rose Society Show in London in 1886, the Dicksons exhibited two Hybrid Perpetuals and a Tea Rose ('Earl of Dufferin', 'Lady Helen Stewart' and 'Ethel Brownlow').

Alexander II was followed by his son, Alexander III (1893–October 15, 1975), whose 57 named roses include 'Sir Winston Churchill' (1955), 'Red Devil' (1965) and 'Nana Mouskouri' (1975), though his career was inhibited by the Second World War.

[7] Since 1977 Colin Dickson (1956– ), rosarian of the sixth generation, has been the main rose breeder.

[8] Many cultivars created by the Dickson family are known worldwide and were granted several rose awards.
