George Thomson is an Australian amateur rose breeder, known for creating disease-resistant roses tailored to the Australian climate.
Thomson was born in Scotland and trained with Alex Cocker of Cockers Roses in Aberdeen, also completing an apprenticeship at Kew Gardens.[1]
In 1958, Thomson emigrated to South Australia, settling in Willunga, near Adelaide. He is considered to be one of Australia's most productive rose breeders, planting over 350,000 seeds each year.[2] He works closely with long established rose nursery Ross Roses, contributing new roses to its 'True Blue' collection, which is bred specifically for the Australian climate.[1][3]
