[The author believes 'Geschwinds Orden is lost and that the rose in commerce is actually the same as 'Gem of the Prairies']
In the Rosenkultivarium [author's garden in Baden/Vienn], we have compared plants from various provenances - among them a plant from the Europa-Rosarium Sangerhausen - and 'Gem of the Prairies' (hybrid setigera, Burgess 1860, introduced 1878 in Europe by Schwartz as 'Bijou des Prairies') over several years in a comparative planting 'Geschwinds Orden'. All these roses showed no difference over the years and we are therefore convinced, that it is the same variety.

Description of 'Gem Of The Prairies' notes that the identification of the rose in commerce in the USA as 'Gem Of The Prairies,' is in questions, as it appears identical to the rose distributed as 'Geshwind's Orden.'

'Geschwinds Orden' (Geschwind 1886) hybrid of R. rugosa x R. multiflora. Violet-purple-pink with white edge, medium size, once-blooming, in clusters, double, very long-blooming. Few prickles, vigorous, long canes. (We received slips from the botanical garden Lyon of 'Erlkönig', 'Nymphe Tepla', 'Aurelia Liffa', three Geschwind roses from the year 1886. All three roses seem to be 'Geschwinds Orden'.)

(from: Möller’s Deutsche Gärtner-Zeitung 1886, p. 66-67)
…Rud. Geschwind sent us last autumn 13 different climbers under the name „Hungarian Climbers“ to bring into commerce and thus have them tested by roselovers…
Geschwind's Orden: Hybrid between R. rugosa and a Multiflora. Very vigorous growth with 4-5 m long annual canes. Smooth canes, with slim sharp prickles, standing out horizontally, creeping on the ground or upright, in this case arching at the tips. Dark green, smooth foliage. Blooms solitary or in small clusters with short pedicels, medium size, densely full, flat form, vivid deep pink or violet-pink, also purple-pink, with a clearly delimited pure white edge, so that the colour of the circumference is in glaring contrast to that of the center. She varies, like all multi-colour roses, often only monochrome white or purple-pink; but when she booms perfectly, for which she needs well-fertilized moist soil in a sunny location, can she be a very effectful rose due to her colour and her immense floriferosity, and also totally hardy.

R. rugosa...is native to the same general area, and when crossed with a pink rose often produces a hybrid having magenta or mauve blossoms. A controlled cross of variety carnea and R. rugosa rosea produced decoration de geschwind (Geschwind, 1885) which is of similar habit and bears purple-pink, white-edged flowers.

Another somewhat distinct and extremely hardy group is known as the Hungarian Roses. They are mostly hybrids of R. multiflora with R. rugosa and other hardy roses, and are credited to Geschwind of Karpona, Hungary. Representative varieties are Château Luegg, Décoration de Geschwind, Gilda, Roi des Aunes, and Schneelicht.
