Johannes Felberg-Leclerc ( November 15, 1872 Trier - February 13. 1939 Trier)
[From www.welt-der-rosen.de] Johannes Felberg-Leclerc (1872-1939) took over the family nursery in 1902 and specialized in roses and landscape gardening. The nursery was dissolved in the mid thirties.
Trier, Germany
[From By Any Other Name, July 2015, p. 10-13:] Johannes Felberg was born in Trier (in English, Treves) on the banks of the Moselle on 15 November 1872, the youngest son of a nursery owner Peter Felberg and his wife Anna (nèe Prim). After his apprenticeship at the nursery of his father, Johannes worked as a trainee in the rose nurseries of Peter Lambert in St. Marien, Trier....After his time with Lambert, Johannes was believed to have worked for a rose breeder in nearby Luxembourg. When he returned to Trier around 1902-03 to take over his father’s nursery, he brought his wife Mimy Leclerc, daughter of a jeweller in Luxembourg city. From then on he carried the compound surname Felberg-Leclerc.....it was in 1913 that Felberg-Leclerc introduced into commerce the first of his own creations: ‘Hofgärtner Kalb’ ...Because of the 1914-1918 War and the economic and political strife in the years immediately following, it was only in 1920-21 that FelbergLeclerc started rose breeding again. His rose cultures and stocks had survived the war and its consequences, but the rose business never again reached the pre-War level. In 1935 the Felberg-Leclerc rose nursery was closed and the lands sold as construction ground. Johannes died on 13 February 1939, survived by his wife Mimy who returned to Luxembourg.
