[From "Two different cultivars named Rosa Poznan", by Jerzy Zielinski, 2014] Translation: Describing a new cultivar called Rosa 'Poznań'we were not aware, however, that much earlier the name 'Poznan' was used by Leopold Grąbczewski for 'noble' a large-flowered rose, bred by this known nursery school in Dąbrówka near Warsaw. He recalled about this Dolatowski (1999) in the book "Szkółkarstwo Polskie 1799-1999 ", in which he placed a short note about the 'Poznań' rose, taken from an undated advertising leaflet issued in the sixties of the twentieth century by the Foreign Trade Center "Rolimpex". This leaflet, entitled "Rose-trees from Poland" shows, that Rosa 'Poznań' was presented by Grąbczewski as a new variety in 1966 and in the same year she received a distinction in Kortrijk in Belgium. From the record in the breeding book of the company "Grąbczewscy" it is known that Rosa 'Poznań' is one of the selected seedlings 'Rouge Meilland' variety (Jan Grąbczewski, oral communication). The fairly accurate, "professional" description of the 'Poznań' rose in the leaflet "Rolimpexuˮ, drawn probably by himself Leopold Grąbczewski, lets think that she was this is an extremely effective variety. However, it has not been registered and after a short period of popularity - practically she disappeared from growing. Lack of it in botanical gardens and in private collections, none of them are recommended nowadays specialized nurseries, there is none in the "Grąbczewscy" nursery operating in Runów.
