I wonder if this rose is named after Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch (27 January 1836 – 9 March 1895) who was an Austrian nobleman, writer and journalist, known for his "romantic" stories of Galician life, aka 50 Shades of Gray of the time. :)

I don't think so. In that case the last name would have been "von Sacher-Masoch", not "Ritter". Josephine Ritter and Leopold Ritter were godmother and godfather to the rose breeder's two sons in 1860 and 1861.

A poster at the gardenweb suggests that this rose might be the lost 'Anna Marie' by Peirce, bred by Pierce but attributed to Samuel Feast.

It looks similar to Baltimore Belle There also seems to be some confusion about Aennchen von Tharau and Eurydice, but those probably are the lesser candidates, considering APG is found in US?

What I grow as Aennchen von Tharau , supposedly an alba/Ayreshire hybrid, looks in foliage very like an alba, and nothing like APG.

My Tolstoi finally is in his teens and pretty big. Very enjoyable rose, stays clean no spray, cooperative with training, vigorous, blooms reasonably long, about a month at least (considering the weather, I am close to the North Sea coast, so usually cool summers). Little thorns, blooms shatter, sets hips. In the cold weather old canes turn red-ish in color.
Blooms, in size and shape, remind a bit those of Caroline Testout or Constance Spry or Paul's Lemon Pillar. Color is more similar to Constance Spry, just does not bleach in the sun like Constance. Habit is also a bit similar to Paul's Lemon, just more flexible and so far more bushy.
