Origin is unknown. Why?
According to Sean Jennett, Sam McGredy (in References) "Grandfather bred it from the' Austrian Copper', and this is an interesting series to follow through."

Thank you Boronkay. It is great to have your help - parentage now added.

One of the most important roses genetically in modern rose history and we don't have a clue what its bred from. I imagine its from a R. foetida bicolor hybrid rather than R. foetida becolor itself, but there is no way to prove this without the plant itself and something to test it genetically. So, it is what it is, and stays as its stated in written history. Sucks, but that's how it is I guess.

'Fiesta' from 1940 is supposed to be a sport of 'The Queen Alexandra' and might still be available since there are relatively recent photos here. Whether it is the correct variety or not is another matter.

Difficult to say, there seems to have been several Dr. Hurtas in the Austtri-Hungarian Empire: Checking Google Books
- Dr. Ignaz Hurta (1854) Doctor for Mines in Czernowitz;
- Dr. Johann Hurta (1853), personal doctor of the Archbishop (Princeps Primas) of Hungary (Béla Bartakovics?)
Did Geschwind know the former, or did he honour the latter, or someone else?

According to Roy Shepherd, 'Orangefield Rose' is hybrid between Rosa arvensis and an Alba cultivar.

According Istvan Wagner, the cultivar name is 'Fritz Schröder'. Which one is correct?

Both names exist in German, but adding a few more references indicates that 'Fritz Schrödter' is correct. He was a German opera singer.
