I pruned my New Dawn roses this Spring and have managed to root three
cuttings in flower pots. Can I expect New Dawns if and when these cuttings
mature?

Of course!, what else would they be?

They will be identical, as variation, with rare exceptions, is produced only
by sexual reproduction. Asexual, such as cuttings, retains the original
plant. Budding and grafting give similar results.
Coincidentally, when very young, I was given New Dawn when it actually was
'New' [or nearly so], as a birthday present, and have retained the original
via cuttings when moving house, though this could have been achieved with
any plant.

I was being facetious.

Asexual reproduction is the standard means of reproducing most hybridized
plant species. In the case of hybridized roses, most of the roses we know,
a single seedling is the first parent off every plant produced. For
production purposes the original hybridizer will produce a quantity of
cuttings from the first seedling. After there are enough of these the
process multiplies exponentially.

When a commercial grower is licensed to produce and sell a specific variety
they purchase only the 'patent' tags from the patent owner. It is up to the
grower to reproduce their own plants for sale.

Occasionally a plant will produce a 'sport', a mutation or variation that
becomes a new species. Many of the climbing variations we know today were
'sports' of a bush type of rose.
