    Dawnglow came from Australian breeder Crawford E. Radcliff and was registered with the RHS by 1935. Dawnglow is both seed and pollen fertile and has been utilized in a multitude of breeding programs since its introduction. It has served as a seed parent 13 times and as a pollen parent 72 times, resulting in 85 crosses, of which 73 ended up as named cultivars, and the other 12 as recorded seedlings. Its history of use in breeding programs peaked around the middle of the last century in Australia. Australia is the home of most of Dawnglow's descendants. A couple came out of New Zealand and 1 from the USA.
