Editor. Mrs. Liesbeth Cooper has been a member of the Bermuda Rose Society since 1967. She began to trace the origin of some of Bermuda's roses by collecting them and sending them to France for testing by rose DNA experts. Roses sent for study included "Bermuda Kathleen", first thought to be a Hybrid Musk but found after testing against 'Mutabilis' and 'Kathleen' to be a new hybrid probably grown from seed.

'Charlotte Kemp' is a deep dark purple with small-medium single blooms produced in clusters. There is a slight white centre, amid golden stamens. Blooms exhibit a grey tinge as they age. Once-flowering, this rose is totally thornless and capable of growing to 3 metres. Growth habit is typically Multiflora Rambler. Nobbs classifies it as a Climbing Polyantha Rambler, and while the colour is a brilliant purple violet, it has no fragrance and few hips. Both the above roses ['Charlotte Kemp' and 'Mary Davis'] were produced in 1984. On his International Registration form Nobbs gives the breeding as 'Thornfree Wonder' x 'Veilchenblau'. 'Thornfree Wonder' is another 'Tausendschon' seedling.

'Daughter Margaret' is a Shrub-Climber with small apricot-peach buds that fade quickly as they open, eventually aging to white. The small double blooms (4cm) are plentiful, borne in clusters, and very recurrent. Registered in 1985, the seed parent is given as R. chinensis mutabilis. The pollen parent is probably 'Cornelia'. The rose is named for his daughter. Sadly, it has no fragrance.

Another important rose in Geschwind's breeding was De la Grifferaie (Vibert, 1845), which displays traits of Multiflora and Gallica.  The best Geschwind roses with 'De la Grifferaie' as an ancestor are 'Ernst Dorell', 'Erlkonig', 'Mercedes',  and 'Nymphe Tepla'.

'Harriet Shepherd' is a tall Multiflora Rambler, producing clusters of double pinkish-lavender blooms with white throat and golden stamens. Blooms are 5cm in diameter, and pale with age. Peter Beales enthused about her in our garden. Breeding is given by Nobbs as 'Tausendschon' seedling x 'Veilchenblau' and once again it has no fragrance.
