Thats a bummer. So what you are saying is to cross it with Playboy and send you 50 plants? 
Does World’s Fair do similar? It is so hard to get away from Crimson Glory v_V
My favorite mini moss in terms of bloom aesthetics is Dresden Doll (thanks Verizon for killing it!). People would definitely love something with that type of form/color on something more modern, fragrant and easy to grow. I think the whole package has to be present or non-rose nuts would have zero patience with the thorns and odd growth patterns.
Meh 
Thanks, Jadae, would you like a large box of pregnant kittens with fleas? hehehe
Oddly, Playboy just might help clean it up. Playboy is golden here with rust but Betty Boop is used as a hedge down the hill and it is totally clean. Awful looking, faded, colorless flowers, but the leaves are pretty and the plants are large. If I was going to play with the Geshwind mosses, I’d probably use Basye’s Blueberry with them. Legacy takes more of the prickles and glandular texture of the sepals out of the mix. Blueberry won’t make thornless seedlings for me and seems more likely to transmit mossing factor. It’s taken two generations to put glandular expression back on the sepals with Legacy. Lynnie X Mutabilis and Lynnie X Cineraire both express the glands and have the sweet pepper scent to the sepals.
Jadae, according to many sources (that may just quote previous sources, I admit) Geschwind’s main point was to breed hardier roses for central i.e. continental Europe, particularly climbers. If we think of his productive time (1860 onwards) not many were available. (Rosa Xkordesii was not around yet!) In Europe, the climate gets colder pretty rapidly when you go eastwards from the Atlantic coast. To my knowledge the then popular teas and noisettes are not hardy enough in Eastern central Europe, as opposed to the mild Western parts. He was an amateur so he probably was not very systematic in his trials and tried to cross a lot of very different roses. I gather that he mainly crossed tender roses with canina, setigera and multiflora, among others.
I doubt that Geschwind’s cultivars are of much use in warm climates, being mainly once bloomers and possibly not very disease resistant. They were bred for neither warm nor humid climates. But in really cold climates like in Finland, Sweden, Russia and in the rest of Northeastern Europe they might turn out to be useful. Among modern roses there are only two climbers/ramblers that are hardy in Southern Finland, let alone Northern. They are Polstjarnan and Flammentanz. So, clearly, if ANY of the Geschwind’s cultivars proves hardy here (once and hopefully they get more easily available), it will be an valuable addition to our rose selection.
Gilda did bloom here and hasn’t demonstrated any proclivities for any fungi. She’s just such an ENTHUSIASTIC grower for such a limited amount of bloom (so far). It really IS pretty…for a few weeks.
Collecting and comparing Roses which are attributed to Geschwind I do since the early 1980s.
I can state that we do not have many which are doubtless true.
Many of the roses which are sold today as one of Geschwind’s are not true: historical descriptions f.e. of Geschwinds Orden are telling us of a climber with Rugosa shaped leaves; or Geschwind wrote about Schneelicht as single blooming. What is sold mostly today as Schneelicht is Mrs.Georges Bruant.
Aurelia Liffa isn’t true, it is a found rose which came from Steinfurth/Germany in the 1990s.

I am glad people like you are spotting these errors though. Is it possible to report these errors to HelpMefind so that they can be noted? They are very valuable.
We’re working on a comprehensive documentation. For sure a sumarization will be available online.
