Synopsis

Die Hybridation Und Sämlingszucht Der Rosen: Ihre Botanik, Classification Und Cultur Nach Den Anforderungen Der Neuzeit. Praktische Anweisung Zur Erziehung Neuer Rosen-Varietäten Und Hybriden Aus Samen, Sowohl Im Freilande Als Auch In Glashäusern Und Fensterbeeten — Rudolf Geschwind. This nineteenth-century German horticultural manual blends botany and practical cultivation to guide amateurs and serious rosarians in rose propagation by layering, root suckers, and seed production. It covers detailed techniques for vegetative propagation, including layering (ringed and underbinding) and the use of young shoots and stock selection, as well as methods for separating and transplanting root suckers. It treats seed-based breeding, emphasizing open-pollinated varieties, the risks of highly hybrid seeds, and strategies for selecting reliable seed parents and planning seed gardens. The work also explores climate-adapted glasshouse culture (glashäuser, mist beds and earth houses), winter protection, soil mixtures, ventilation, and pest management, with practical construction and maintenance guidance. And it undertakes an ambitious taxonomic framework to classify roses into major groups (Simplicifoliae, Bracteatae, Alpinae, Lutenae, Pimpinellifoliae, Centifoliae, Villosae, and Damascene) to support breeding goals. The author advocates German independence in breeding, stresses careful record-keeping, and provides guidance on selecting mother plants, pollination, and seed production for durable, garden-worthy varieties.
