The Swiss gentle man Fellenburg as that is the correct sow spelling of his name and that of this rose was a Swiss of German extraction. This rose is a creation of his without any doubt.

Ah, you're the same as me - don't touch-type, and sometimes forget to check what has appeared on the screen when we've finished.

I stand by what I said earlier about Mr. Fellenburg . In German burg is never spelt with an e. It is always spelt burg which means hill or mountain Patricia. This mistake has bean around for along time and unless one has a linguistic or philogical background one doesn't appreciate the subtle nuances of any given language or its spelling. There are spellings of words which have crept into English here and in the us and Canada which though popular still make them silly or theoretically incorrect ie; The american use of dove instead of dived for the past tense of diving.
I once mentioned the spelling of Fellemburg to David Euston.He like me grew up in South Australia surrounded by people of German extraction. He accepted like me that the correct spelling for fellemburg is with the u and not eunles Herr Fellemburg was English which he certainly wasn't.

I wonder if the rose was named after:

There was a prune in the Riverland in the 1920s 'Fellemberg' according to TROVE

There are quite a few Germanic words spelt e-r-g, Battenberg for example. Burg = Castle, Berg = Mountain.

Aussie Rose Lover - I wonder if you wouldn't mind using the EDIT facility to correct the incorrect spellings in your postings.
There are 60 or so references to this rose dating back to 1836, all using the berg spelling. The only point of contention is that whether the name was spelt with an N or a M.

In the digitised copies available online of the German periodical Rosenzeitung there are 22 references to Fellemberg, only one to Fellenberg and none at all to either Fellenburg or Fellemburg.

Fellen means fallen in german, so family name would be 'descended from the mountains' , Fellem is hungarian for above myself and the family name would then mean 'above me the mountains, above the mountains'

The German etymology is a bit far fetched. "Fallen" in German is "gefallen". "Fell" is fur, "Fellen" is "of furs". The name is known in for a Swiss patrician family since mid 16th century. Contemporaries of the rose were e.g.
Daniel von Fellenberg (1736-1801), politician and lawyer
Philipp Emanuel von Fellemberg (1771-1844), educator and agronomist
Wilhelm Tell von Fellenberg (1798-1880), farmer and entrepreneur
The second was shortly (ca. 1798/99) ambassador to France. A Fellenberg prune is still in commerce, also called Fellemberg. There is no indication that he ever bred roses.
The spelling "Fellemberg" is a typical French misspelling of German words. Philip Emanuel is mentioned in the Revue anglo-française of 1833 as ". M. de Fellemberg a placé dans son grand établissement d'agriculture d'Hofwil , près Berne" etc. P.E.F.'s educational work was well-known in France. He was in contact with Marie Louise of Austria, the second wife of Napoléon. There are mentions of his establishment in Hofwyl near Bern from 1805 onwards

Additional research: According to Fellenberg family tradition, an ancestor immigrated from Tirol in Austria to the region Aargau, which was then Austrian land. The family name was spelled "von Vellenberg". Indeed there is a castle ruin Vellenberg near Innsbruck, Tirol. The family name "de Vellinberch" related to the castle is documented since the 1160s.

Like Professor Higgins said, we Americans haven't spoken English in years.

Modern Roses 12 shows both Registered Name and Exhibition Name as Fellemberg with Fellenberg as a synonym.

They too, like all the others for umpteen decades, have chopped and changed their minds over this one. Not only the name, but the class as well. I have put my second plant out into some sunlight and it will be interesting to watch. At this stage I think it is closer to Noisette, than China

I have never seen it in person, but it looks like china and synstylae (which noisettes are, as well). But I don't think it is moschata like noisettes, or if it is, it's diluted. This one is a real mystery.
I wonder if it is something like ...(multiflora type x tea type) x old blush type.

I believe there are various clones or even roses in commerce under the 'Fellemberg' name. The name comes from Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg (1771-1844), renowned Swiss agronomist and educationalist. However, the French insisted on calling him Fellemberg.

I feel the pain. I like saying y'all. I'm not even Southern :D
No, I'm kidding. I did see the argument about the name. I figured there were mixed clones. Business as usual with the old cultivars.
I wonder which clone was tested as triploid. Maybe a little China/Bourbon snuck in for a quicky somewhere along the lineage.
