A First Prize Basket of George Dickson Roses – Vintage Floral Print (1926 Annual)

Description

Description:
This beautifully coloured vintage print from the 1926 Annual features a first prize-winning basket of ‘George Dickson’ roses – a striking and much-celebrated hybrid tea rose variety renowned for its deep red velvety blooms. Elegantly arranged in a traditional wicker basket, the vibrant flowers are a testament to the classic rose cultivation of the early 20th century.

The ‘George Dickson’ rose, developed by the esteemed Dickson family of rose breeders in Northern Ireland, was introduced in 1912 and quickly became popular for both exhibitions and gardens due to its vivid hue and strong fragrance.

This authentic print, now mounted on black cardboard and measuring approximately 14 x 15 cm, captures the essence of vintage horticultural excellence and would make a prized collectible for enthusiasts of botanical history, rose breeding, and floral art.
