ERINNERUNG AN BROD – crimson historical old garden rose - Geschwind
The heritage climbing rose ERINNERUNG AN BROD is a richly scented, once-flowering rose that rewards You with an unforgettable wave of deep crimson blooms at the start of summer, bringing a touch of romantic history to an Irish family garden. Its strong, full-bodied perfume and velvety rosette flowers create a dramatic focal point on pergolas, arches or walls, where You can enjoy a single, spectacular flowering without complicated pruning routines. As an own-root plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre pot, it is bred for longevity, forming a stable climbing framework that regenerates well over time and fits neatly with the idea of “plant it and it works”. Ideal for gardens facing breezy, damp Atlantic weather, it copes reliably where drainage and heavier soils need a bit of thought. Its dense, dark green foliage gives a romantic backdrop even when not in bloom, and the long, flexible canes make wall training and arch-covering surprisingly simple once they are tied in place. Over the first three years it settles in steadily – first building roots, then shoots, then full flowering effect – so You can look forward to a maturing, enduring feature that suits both cottage-style and more formal front gardens without demanding expert-level care.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front-garden arch or arbour over a path
A once-a-year cascade of large, very full crimson flowers creates a stunning entrance feature without needing constant deadheading or complex pruning, giving beginners a reliable “big moment” in early summer that still feels manageable for the homeowner
South- or west-facing pergola in a family garden
The vigorous climbing habit and dense foliage quickly clothe a pergola, while the own-root, long-lived framework forms a stable structure that can be renewed from the base if needed, ideal for families wanting shade and atmosphere with limited gardening time for beginners
Cottage-style boundary fence or rustic trellis
Dark green leaves and richly scented, old-fashioned blooms give a romantic, traditional look that fits rural cottage gardens, with medium maintenance needs that stay realistic for owners who prefer simple tying-in and an annual tidy rather than frequent technical pruning for gardeners
Wall training on a sunny gable or garage
Flexible canes make it straightforward to fan-train against a wall, and the plant adapts gradually to its position, forming its own shape over the years; this makes it a good choice where You want an established, architectural feature without replanting every few seasons for planners
Partially shaded side passage or north-east wall
The flowers hold their deeper colour better in partial shade, and the rose tolerates less than full sun, so You still get strong fragrance and historical character in those awkward side areas that many modern roses fail to brighten for busy urban residents
Small group planting in a larger lawn or park corner
Planted in a loose group of 1–3 specimens with space to climb, it offers a future-proof garden selection that will outlast many shorter-lived shrubs, giving a dependable, once-flowering highlight that suits owners who value durability over constant change for thoughtful garden investors
Coastal or exposed suburban garden with heavy soil
This own-root climber establishes steadily even where breezy, humid weather and heavier Irish soils mean You must think about how rain drains away from the roots, giving a resilient, old-rose presence once settled for coastal and west-facing garden owners
Large container on a terrace, balcony or paved yard
Grown in a generous 40–50 litre container with support, it offers the charm of a historical climbing rose in small, paved spaces, allowing You to enjoy strong fragrance and seasonal drama while keeping the root system contained and easier to manage for space-conscious tenants
Decorating ideas
Cottage Arch Drama – Train ERINNERUNG AN BROD over a simple wooden arch and underplant with English lavender for a scented, bee-friendly carpet at foot level – ideal for lovers of romantic cottage entrances.
Velvet Wall Tapestry – Fan-train the crimson blooms along a sunny house wall, softening brick or render, with Gypsophila repens spilling at the base to lighten the look – perfect for homeowners wanting impact with limited upkeep.
Parkland Pergola Walk – Let several plants climb a pergola to create a shaded walkway, with Echinacea ‘Big Kahuna’ in sunny gaps for later-season colour after the rose has finished – suited to larger gardens and shared green spaces.
Historic Fence Backdrop – Use it along a rustic fence behind mixed perennials so the once-a-year crimson flush forms a dramatic backdrop while foliage provides structure for the rest of the season – best for gardeners who enjoy a classic, layered border.
Balcony Heritage Feature – In a 40–50 litre tub with a slim obelisk, this climber turns a paved balcony into a seasonal showpiece without needing in‑ground soil – attractive for urban residents seeking one striking, easy-care rose.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Trade name ERINNERUNG AN BROD – crimson historical old garden rose – Geschwind; old rose, Hybrid Setigera group; ARS exhibition name Souvenir de Brod; historical rose collection, heritage climbing type.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Rudolf Geschwind in Austria around 1884, introduced by Ketten Frères of Luxembourg; parentage Rosa setigera Michx × ‘Génie de Châteaubriand’, combining wild vigour with refined, very double historical blooms.
Growth and structure
Strong, climbing growth habit reaching about 240–380 cm high and 160–260 cm wide; moderately thorny canes with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, ideal for arches, pergolas, walls and taller fences.
Flower morphology
Large, very full rosette blooms with 40+ petals, typically borne singly; flower size in the L range (approximately 2.75–3.95 inches), non-remontant and once-flowering, giving one abundant, concentrated display each season.
Colour and phenology
Deep, velvety crimson-red flowers with darker centres and violet sheen; buds show blackish-purple tones, ageing towards greyer mauve in strong sun; colour remains deeper in partial shade, with a single main flowering period in early summer.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, full-bodied old-rose perfume with long-range scent, easily noticeable on still days; primarily ornamental due to very double flowers and enclosed stamens, offering fragrance rather than nectar value for pollinators.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip production is limited because of the very double bloom form; occasionally forms small, egg-shaped, orange-red hips about 10–15 mm in diameter, adding a modest autumn accent where they develop.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA zone 5b, Swedish zone 4); moderate resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; tolerates heat reasonably but benefits from watering during prolonged dry periods.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to arbours, pergolas, fences, walls and park plantings; allow 190–300 cm spacing depending on use; performs in full sun to partial shade; for containers, choose at least 40–50 litres and provide sturdy support for climbing canes.
ERINNERUNG AN BROD offers a once-a-year crimson spectacle, strong fragrance and a long-lived, own-root climbing framework for arches or walls, making it a dependable choice if You want lasting character with manageable care.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
