Victor Hermann Teschendorff (born December 2, 1877 in Königsberg , † October 3, 1960 in Cossebaude ) was a German entrepreneur . He was a gardener , rose breeder (five registered new varieties) as well as a local politician and became world famous for his rose cultures .

Life

Victor Teschendorff came from Königsberg in East Prussia, where he attended school. In 1894 he started an apprenticeship as a gardener at Rathke & Sohn in the city of Praust near Danzig . After a two-year visit, he successfully completed his studies at the Höhere Gartenlehranstalt in Geisenheim in 1900 . He then found a job as first assistant at the Klenert tree nursery in Graz , Austria , and later moved to a tree nursery in Olivet in France. In 1902 he returned to the German Empire and worked in a tree nursery. Shortly afterwards he became the first head gardener in a tree nursery in Schöllschütz in Moravia .

In 1904 he took over the Bernhard Hähnel company, Dresden-Reick, which he moved to Cossebaude shortly afterwards. This made him the owner of one of the largest tree and rose schools in Germany.

Teschendorff organized several rose exhibitions and was a member of numerous commissions, including the Association of German Tree Nursery Owners and the Presidium of the Association of German Rose Friends.

At the age of 70 in 1947, he passed the management of the company into the younger hands of his son-in-law Fritz Paul Haenchen (1907–1986) and retired. The company was nationalized in 1972 and reprevatised in 1990. The Victor Teschendorff KG Garten-Center celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2004 and ceased operations at the end of 2007, whereby a horticultural tradition in Cossebaude came to an end after more than 100 years.

Teschendorff was a member of the municipal council in Cossebaude for many years.

family

Bornemann (1884–1968) married Agnes Elisabeth Erna, who had two daughters and the son Werner Teschendorff, who died in World War I, after the rose was named Werner Teschendorff .

Work and meaning

As early as 1913 he exhibited numerous roses in Forst in Niederlausitz .

In 1928 he bred the Polyantha - Hybrid 'Tesch Dorffs Jubilee Rose'. He brought a number of other cultivars onto the market, mainly rose varieties from special enthusiast breeders. The rose varieties Cossebauder Rose , Hadley elatior (first bred as a climbing hybrid tea rose in 1927 ), Hermes and White Margo Koster can be traced back to Victor Teschendorff.

After his daughter Eva, the rose is Eva Teschendorff, Clbg. named.

Honors

In the East German rose garden Forst (Lausitz) the Teschendorffgarten was named after him. In 2013, Deutsche Post dedicated a 45 cent stamp to this part of the rose show.
