Hi HMFers,
I think that all roses that are attributed to Christoph Weigang actually "belong" to his son Ludwig. Christoph Weigand died in 1909. In 1904 already Ludwig took over the nursery. There are no references to be found that Christoph actually bred roses, only Ludwig started to breed as a hobby. The main occupation of the Weigand nursery, however, stayed the growing and selling of flowers.
Greetings
Giuseppe

Giuseppe,
Yes, most all of these roses are after his death. Can you provide a reference we can cite regarding Christoph Weigand's history. Thank you.

The contemporary references seem to refer to Christoph Weigand as the breeder of the wichurana hybrids. These were all commercialized until 1911. The later roses are HTs, HPs etc which would be Ludwig Weigand's field.
There is an article in the Rosenzeitung 1904, p. 106, of which I see only a fragment, which will tell us more.
