Brent Dickerson advises: Charles Lawson succeeded to the leadership of the firm P. Lawson & Son (being the Son of Peter Lawson) in 1821, keeping the firm's original name ("P. Lawson & Son"). Charles Lawson is the person who introduced the rose known by his name, but one could also say that it could be attributed to P. Lawson & Son, that being the name of the firm which introduced it.
