Hermann Schmidt, the person, was an architect at Zweibrücken, Germany, and was once vice president of the Zweibrücken Rose Society.

The American Rose Society has classed this rose as a Large-flowered Climber, which is wrong; it is a small flowered multiflora-Rambler. It´s exceptionality is the wonderfull intensive limetre-fragrance which is carried by the wind and may be noticed from yards!
