Hugh Dickson

Hugh Dickson, Dickson 1905

Hybrid Perpetual 

Lord Bacon X Gruß an Teplitz

Making shoots sometimes 2,5 meters or 8 feet long, Hugh Dickson has been a favourite since its brilliant crimson burst into the Rose World in 1905. It has ever been known as Climbing Hugh Dickson. If you train it on a wall or other support, be sure to arrange for as many of the long shoots to be as near horizontal as possible; then you will have a display that has few equals, blooms appearing from every leaf-joint. It also has many assets; unequalled pure colour, rich fragrance from shapely flowers, and good growth. And for the brilliant summer crop you will be sure of a great crop again in September and many odd blooms in between, if you keep it regularly dead-headed. Though classed, rightly, as a Hybrid Perpetual, it brought a beautiful shape that was becoming the prerogative of the Hybrid Teas. Only once, now and again, do we have the best of both worlds.
