☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

A reference:

"GRUSS VON TANNENHOF. Chr. Friedrich, 1913. The introducer described itas a floriferous white Multiflora. The variety in commerce here is a dark red cluster-flowered Wichuraiana."

Source: "Climbing Roses", G.A. Stevens, New York 1933

I wonder whether the plant in the San Jose Heritage Garens has white or red flowers? Grammatically correct is "Gruss vom Tannenhof".

Stevens states a Christian Friedrich as breeder. I wonder whether "Lutinghausen" is not an error. Sounds very much like the name of a place. In fact, there is a Lüttringhausen east of Düsseldorf. Maybe the breeder was a Christian Friedrich in Lüttringhausen?

Unfortunately, this rose is no longer shown in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden database, so the color of the bloom remains a mystery. You are right about the mistake in the spelling of "Lutinghausen," but there is still no clarity. Brent Dickerson mentions "Luttinghausen," not Lüttringhausen, as a possible alternative breeder. He does mention that Chr. Friedrich is shown as breeder with Lambert.
