Alexander's son, George, and George's two sons, Alexander II and George II, began a rose breeding program at the company in 1879. Alexander Patrick (Patrick) Dickson (1926-2012), started working for Dickson Roses in 1957 and began breeding roses for the company in 1958.[1] During his career, he introduced many successful rose varieties, including Rosa 'Sea Pearl' (1964), Rosa 'Grandpa Dickson' (1966), Rosa 'Red Devil' and Rosa 'Precious Platinum' (1974).[2]
