The Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, New Jersey, 1932 'Roses' catalogue, page 39, lists 'Greta Kluis' as a "deep-coloured sport of 'Louise Walter'."

We have added another reference which lists both Echo and Louise Walter as the possible pollen parent - apparently this was not quite clear cut even in the 30s. We mention this now as a note. Thank you for your alert.

The foliage, habit, and petal shape support the idea that they are not 100% from the 'Echo' line. Similar, yes, but there is a definite shift after Echo. While this could be a mutation, I personally doubt it, since the other line seems to possess traits that the Koster line has.

Patricia,
The Bobbink & Atkins catalog of 1923 lists 'Louise Walter' as "Baby Tausendschon'.
'Echo', on the other hand, "resembles the Baby Tausendschon inits coloring, but is more vigorous."
I had long assumed that 'Echo' was 'Baby Tausendschon'.
So, if one person claimed that 'Greta Kluis' was a sport from 'Baby Tausendschon', it would be easy enough for one other person to assume that 'Echo' was intended rather than 'Louise Walter' (or vice versa).

It is fun, sometimes, but also frustrating. I had long pointed to the sport-lineage from 'Tausendschon' to 'Climbing Margo Koster' as an example of the weirdness that can happen when we pay attention to sports and preserve them. How odd that a once-blooming rambler can give rise (after multiple sports) to a reblooming climbing polyantha.
But now I have to start with 'Louise Walter', which is not quite so interesting because it is a rebloomer.

Greta Kluis. D.Pol. (Kluis & Koning, 1915.) Sport of Louise Walter. An extremely desirable variety. A beautiful shade of deep carmine-pink that changes to bright carmine-red. Free flowering over long season.
