From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Ruth Leuwerik
Born

Essen, Germany
Occupation
Actress
Years active
1950–1977
Ruth Leuwerik (born 23 April 1924) is a German film actress. She appeared in 34 films between 1950 and 1977. Leuwerik is probably best known for her portrayal of Maria von Trapp in the films The Trapp Family and The Trapp Family in America. In the 1950s she and Dieter Borsche were considered as the ideal couple of the German film. In 1962 she starred in the Helmut Käutner film Redhead, which was entered into the 12th Berlin International Film Festival.[1] She won the famous Bambi award five times.
She was born in Essen, Germany.

My comment: As this rose was bred by a Dutch company, I wondered why the name was spelled like this.
In Dutch it would have been Leeuwerik (lark as the bird)

It's hard to say, Jay-Jay. The rose was bred by a company/person in the Netherlands, but according to the Modern Roses 12 REFERENCE I added, it was introduced by Gandy's Roses Ltd. in the United Kingdom. I don't know if was introduced by any other nursery. Maybe Gandy kind of butchered the spelling of the rose name when they introduced the rose.

The name was spelled as "Leuwerik", because she is German and she spells her name like that.
