[From "Danish Heritage Roses", by Jens Otto Pedersen, pp. 21-23]
In WFRS Award of Garden Excellence winning Geographical Garden in Kolding you will find the original ʻLykkefund’. Most likely a seedling of R. helenae x ʻZéphirine Drouhin,’ Aksel Olsen found this rose in his nursery in 1930. This vigorous rambler with its overwhelming bloom and scent is – at least in Scandinavia – a must in any garden considered a rose garden.
