The rose was not dedicated to Heinrich Ludolph Wendland (1792-1869). He died when Wilhelm Kordes was 4 years old, long before Kordes was founded in 1887. Wilhelm Kordes named the rose after a senior employee of the Späth nursery in Berlin, "an unforgettable friend". (Information from Wikipedia). But there was also a Heinrich Wendland in Kiel (close to Kordes), owner of the "Forstecker Baumschule".

what is the correct spelling of of this rose name? It is currently spelt as Madame Prospère Laugier, but most references spell it as Madame Prosper Laugier We also have Prosper Laugier (Hybrid Perpetual, Verdier, 1883)

Quite so (as to where did the "Prospère" come from). So late as 1905, there was a Bearded Iris of the name 'Prosper Laugier' as well, also from the house of Verdier.

Prospère is wrong. Verdier had a daughter Eugénie Angélique Verdier (* 1 May 1852 in Ivry-sur-Seine, † ). She married the pharmacist Auguste Prosper Laugier (* 2.06.1846 in Paris, † ) on 26 October 1874 in Paris. The name must be changed, but also where it is used as a parent, e.g. 'Docteur Georges Martin'. You can find this in Genenet!

This the Alba 'Sappho', as you can see from the leaves.

Definitely an alba, either 'Sappho' or 'Semiplena'.
