This is a rose by Rudolf Geschwind.
Rudolf Geschwind was one of the most famous rose breeders of the 19th century. He was the first to produce frost-hardy roses in Europe.
His name is associated with such world famous roses like for example Geschwind's Nordlandrose or Geschwind's Schönste, Gipsy Boy or Grüss an Teplitz.
When I have seen his roses the first time in Praskac, I have thought: well, that’s famous old German rose breeding!
A little later, when I have seen a list of his roses with names like Corporal Johann Nagy or Julius Fabianics de Misefa, then it became a little bit suspicious: perhaps he has some Hungarian relation?
In fact, he had. His nursery was in Hungary, on Korpona. Help Me Find registers him as a Hungarian rose breeder.
There was a time when we lived in the middle of Europe.

width: 150 - 245 cm

At us it is planted on a sunny place, but according to Help Me Find it tolerates part-shadow.
