Peter Lambert (June 1, 1859 – February 28, 1939) was a German rose breeder from Trier. == Life == Peter Lambert was born on 1 June 1859 in Trier, Germany. He acquired a knowledge of roses working with his father Nicholas Lambert in the Lambert & Reiter nursery, later Lambert & Söhne (Lambert & Sons). The brothers Johann and Nicholas had started the firm in 1869 with Jean Reiter, a nurseryman. Peter trained at a Prussian school of horticulture and gained experience working in nurseries in France and England. In 1891 he started his own nursery, eventually employing more than seventy workers.〔(''Die Welt der Rosen'' web page on Rosenzüchter Peter Lambert (in German). )〕〔Charles Quest-Ritson, ''Climbing Roses of the World'', Timber Press, 2003, p.100. ISBN 0-88192-563-2.〕 In 1900 he married Léonie Lamesch, daughter of the Luxembourg rose breeder. To her he had dedicated one of his dwarf Polyanthas crossing Polyanthas with Noisettes. He maintained good contacts with Luxembourg nurseries (Soupert & Notting, Gemen-Bourg, and Ketten Freres), who distributed his varieties.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.industrie.lu/rosesluxembourg.html )〕 Peter Lambert helped establish the Europa-Rosarium at Sangerhausen in 1904 and the rosarium in Zweibrücken in 1914. He was also a founder of the Verein Deutscher Rosenfreunde (German Rose Society). He became its director and edited its ''Rosen-Zeitung'' 1890–1911.〔 He was a jurist for rose competitions in Saint Petersburg, Paris, Haarlem, London, Lyon and Florence. :Lambert's catalogues in the years 1914-1931 are a valuable treasure trove of the most important roses of his time.〔 Lambert's rose dedications (over 100 by 1914) make a survey of contemporary German wartime and pre-war society. There are the usual rose people and their relations. Likewise aristocratic and military worthies, though the sabre rattles more loudly than usual: the rose 'Herero-Trotha' celebrates von Trotha's genocidal efforts in German Southwest Africa. Danzig is declared in 1935 to be 'Deutsches Danzig.' There is an "economic adviser," a "financial adviser" and a "confidential adviser," no doubt prominent public servants. Other names show Lambert's interest in poets ('Hoffmann von Fallersleben'), wine-growing areas and chess players.〔 He died on 28 February 1939. "Lambert's garden in the walls of the old Benedictine abbey in Trier and his collection of roses … were all destroyed during World War II."〔 After the war, a street in Trier was named after him and a rose garden in Nells Park planted in his honour.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Lambert (rosarian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
