There is a lengthy article on the rose scene in Dresden 1858-1888, by Paul Ruschpler (the younger), in the Rosen-Zeitung of 1926, p. 31ff, which is more of a tidal-wave of German than my slender powers in that language dares to undertake, but of which a glance-through seems to indicate promise of much useful information on earlier Ruschplers and other rosomane Dresdenites. Could someone more at ease with the nuances of German provide a translation, or a summary of useful facts from it? (Or perhaps there is already a translation of it available somewhere?)

We are also favored in it with a photo of a gentleman who is likely Paul Ruschpler the elder (the elder Paul, born 1832, was a son of F.W. Ruschpler). This article is followed by two more of similar interest, one by Krüger, which also promise well.
