‘Gruss an Aachen Climbing’. A sport from the bush form, which occurred at Sangerhausen and was introduced by Kordes in 1937. The parentage is reputedly ‘Frau Karl Druschki’ x ‘Franz Deegen’, but chromosome numbers suggest otherwise. Both of these are Hybrid teas, so that it is strange that ‘Gruss an Aachen’ should be cluster-flowered, and classed as a floribunda in spite of its having been raised in 1909 by Geduldig, Germany), long before the term was invented!

'Gruss an Aachen'. ....The parents are said to be 'Frau Karl Druschki' x 'Franz Deegen', at first sight an unlikely story. We all know 'Frau Karl Druschki', the snow white Hybrid Perpetual; but 'Franz Deegen' is a stranger. It was a Hybrid Tea, also called 'Yellow Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria' and that parentage would suggest that 'Gruss an Aachen' was the first of many roses which on failing to turn out as Hybrid Teas, were introduced under the umbrella of the Polyantha or Floribunda classes.
