Rosen aus dem Süden/Roses from the South (Carl Froehlich, 1926) was based on a story by Walter Supper. Hans Oberländer and Walter Supper himself wrote the screenplay.
The film's title is a reference to the song 'Rosen aus dem Süden' by Johann Strauss II. The song is a waltz medley composed by Strauss II in 1880 with its themes drawn from the operetta 'Das Spitzentuch der Königin' (The Queen's Lace Handkerchief) inspired by a novel by Heinrich Bohrmann-Riegen.
The waltz was first performed at the regular Sunday concerts of the Strauss Orchestra conducted by Eduard Strauss on 7 November 1880 at the Musikverein in Vienna. Its themes drawn from the operetta are the act 1 'Trüffel-Couplet' and the act 2 romance 'Wo die wilde Rose erblüht' (Where the Wild Rose Blossoms). The act 2 romance most certainly inspired the title of this waltz.
The waltz ranks among the 'Waltz King's' magnificent works and is still regularly performed today at the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert.
Next to Henny Porten, the other leading roles in Rosen aus dem Süden/Roses from the South were played by Italian heartthrob Angelo Ferrari, Wilhelm Bendow, Hilde Wörner and Jenny Marba.
Axel Graatkjær was the cameraman and Franz Schroedter was art director. Production manager was Wilhelm von Kaufmann. The film premiered in Berlin on 11 March 1926.
