Somehow my alias is linked to Rudolph Geschwind. See print-screen.... that is not my intention and could that be fixed?

Hi Jay-Jay,

We've corrected this (easy to do) but we're perplexed on how it happened. We'll figure it out.

In Chapter 5 of Charles Quest Ritsons' book Climbing Roses Of The World, a whole subchapter is dedicated to "The Work of Rudolph Geschwind" (page 54-61)
Lots and lots of his crossings are described and in particular the ones with R. setigera are mentioned.

Yes, we have this excellent book listed as a reference for many Geschwind roses, though not with full text - an acquisition can only be recommended. The latest research on Geschwind is to be found in the Rosenjahrbuch 2011" in an very extensive article by Buchmann and Unmuth.

Hans van Hage from De Bierkreek nursery has a good picture of this breeder.
