Huber, Richard

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Richard Huber jun. (January 27, 1927 - October 10, 2013), joined the family nursery in 1947 and introduced roses from 1948.

[From Rosa Helvetica, 1986, p. 42:] ...breeds roses since a number of years. A larger number of own cultivars is in commerce.

[From Aargauer Zeitung, July 8, 2024:] Interview with Dyana Huber: [Richard Huber] began collecting old rose varieties all over Europe. Among other things, he visited the Europa Rosarium in Sangerhausen, in the former GDR. There is a collection there of roses that were bred before 1900. He was also allowed to propagate them further and thus made a good name for himself in Germany, France and Austria. At that time we exported the majority of our production to Germany....Our first attempts [at breeding] with the Duftwolke variety as a mother plant were unsuccessful. During a presentation of new rose varieties at an international competition, we learned that the rose was sterile. This means you can't breed with it.
