GOLDEN DAWN. (Gumm, 1923.) 8.6 (9 votes).*
Anemone type; medium size; midseason. High yellowish center with broad, round guard petals of ivory-white; when freshly opened has a golden glow; fragrant. Erect habit.
In the opinion of many experts, this flower should not have been named and introduced. It seems to be identical with Primevere. On the show table it is impossible to distinguish it from either Primevere or Laura Dessert.

GOLDEN DAWN (1923) - Double, late. White guards and bright yellow collar. Stems excellent. One of the best near yellows.
Brian Porter (2004):
(D W M) An attractive flower, even it is not a full double in the usual sense. The broad guard petals of ivory white surround a large full yellow center of smaller petals. Distinct and unusual.
