Fred Boutin once commented that perhaps the found rose, "Peggy Martin" might be Hauff.

The description does seem to generally fit. The only reason I have to doubt that statement is that I germinated a few OP hips this year, and Peggy is definitely very fertile. Hauff seems to have been somewhat popular at least up until 1936, and I would expect "some" record of descendants.

We had speculated that with advent of WWII that many no longer wished to discuss or document roses of German origin in the US and perhaps elsewhere. Might explain why there are minimal records.

'Hauff' is described as purple to violet, and 'Peggy Martin' is more pinkish, isn't it?

Wellll…it certainly is darker with maybe a touch of violet when it is just opening, but I don’t think most people would describe it as purplish. Here’s a section of a picture I grabbed of just opening buds last year. Can’t vouch for the color accuracy of an Apple phone.

A rose which is purplish in Germany might well be pinkish lavender in New Orleans. I have found that the color of lavenderish roses is quite affected by amount and brightness of available sunlight. 'St. Elizabeth of Hungary' was not an attractive color in my cool zone garden; OTOH, 'Blue Moon' is exquisite, when it does bloom.
