Overview
Dawn Chorus is an orange hybrid tea rose from Dickson, introduced in 1991. The bush reaches about 0.8 m (2 ft 7 in) in height and width, so it suits the front or middle of a rose bed. Fragrance is light. It was given the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2002. As with most hybrid teas, a hard prune in late winter and regular deadheading help keep plants shapely. Choose it if you want warm orange tones in a modest space.
