New Dawn.

Sometimes a rose will produce a 'Sport' (on the same bush) and if all goes well it can be developed into a new rose type, as the one below.

'Awakening', Böhm 1935. Sport of 'New Dawn' (Not in the Hall of Fame).

Ingrid Bergman.  Inducted in 2000.

I'm not surprised to find this rose in the Hall of Fame. It is a beautiful red and its petals feel like silk. It was bred by Olsen and introduced into Denmark in 1984. Although this hybrid tea has all the looks and other great qualities which make it desirable, like growth habit - sturdy and upright to 6 feet, hardiness and repeat-blooming, its fragrance is not as strong as 'Papa Meilland'. 

 However it has won quite a few awards:

Belfast Gold Medal 1985.

Copenhagen Gold Medal 1986.

Madrid Gold Medal 1986.

The Hague Gold Medal 1987.

The World's Favourite Rose 2000.
