According to Harold Enders' article "Early Rose Breeding in Germany", Hermann Kiese also bred the Polyantha 'Kleiner Liebling' (1895) and the Hybrid Perpetual 'Venus' (1895). They were released by J.C. Schmidt.
These two roses are not listed under Roses Bred by Kiese.

Corrected. We had them as being bred by Schmidt, whom Kiese worked for. Thank you Darrell.

After the death of Hermann Kiese, the Kiese rose nursery stayed in business at least until 1932. At this time the last advertisement concerning roses was made in the Rosen-Zeitung. The local historian Mr. Langguth of Vieselbach reports, that the nursery was continued by Wilhelm Kiese, son of Hermann, but rose breeding and rose business was stopped, a general nursery remained: the "Baumschule Kiese" (Kiese nursery) The nursery was dispossessed and nationalized in 1949, due to Wilhelm Kiese's involvement in the Nazi-hierarchy.
