I have a feeling that it wasn't bred from Frau Karl Druschki. I could see the pollen parent being probable though.

Like, maybe there was a typo somewhere and it was originally this?

We can't know without genetic testing or unfound documents, but I find FKD to be highly suspect.

The earliest references in Rosen-Zeitung class it as a Hybrid Polyantha with no references to its parentage that I can see.
FKD x Franz Deegen is indeed suspect.

Yeah. That makes sense.

The foliage, at least to me, screams Aglaia descendent.

1916 The Rose Annual
p104. Walter Easlea. Dwarf Polyantha Roses. 1909 Gruss an Aachen

p110. Ibid. There is a tendency on the part of raisers to produce varieties with large blooms. I refer to such as Gruss an Aachen and 'Mosella'. These come very near to being Hybrid Teas and are very charming. 'Gruss an Aachen' is a Rose that should be in every collection, but as a poly-pom it seems out of place.

What would Gruss an.... translate to - Greetings to? or Greetings from?

Greetings to (the town/city of) Aachen.
In Germany, situated just across the border of the province Limburg in the south of the Netherlands. Famous for it's delicacy Aachener Printen. And the Dom, in which emperor Charlemagne is buried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen_Cathedral.

Thanks Jay-Jay, I knew you could help with this one. Somewhere I saw a reference wherein they had called it 'Greetings From Aachen'. My Websters German-English Dictionery confuses me with [an]: adv on; onward, at, against, on, upon, by, to.......... so I am grateful.

I was born in Stuttgart Germany. So the name of this rose captured me. The flowers are pretty, but I am not yet overly impressed. I will give it a couple of years before I make a final decision on whether to keep it or find a good home for it.

Some of the photos on hmf don't look double enough to be the rose I'm growing (which is excellent). Maybe there are two being sold under the name.
