‘Titian’. Modern, cluster-flowered/floribunda. Deep pink. Repeat-flowering. This variety has well formed flowers of deep carmine pink, though their brilliance is such that they have the remarkable property of appearing scarlet when caught by the sun and viewed from a distance. They open out rather flat, and the color tone intensifies as the large, full-petalled blooms age. Flowers continue to appear through the growing season, the autumn bloom being especially fine, and there is a light scent. Although classified as a Cluster-flowered Rose the plant takes on the dimensions of a shrub or pillar in warm areas, growing vigorously with an upright, arching habit to above average height; it is easy to grow in a border, with or without support. The foliage is rounded and mid-green. Zones 4-9. Riethmuller, Australia, 1950. Parentage unknown.

p60 Lilia Weatherly. Tasmania. [My] Nancy Hayward is planted next to Titan, F, dp, 1950 Riethmuller the flowers of which are similar in colour but quite different in appearance. The contrast in the foliage of the two, Nancy Hayward’s being dark and Titan’s light green enhances the picture they make together.

p98 Caption for distance picture. Australian bred ‘Titian’ clothes the pergola that forms the centrepiece of the picking garden at Cruden Farm,

p98 Caption for closeup picture. ‘Titian’ is perhaps the best known of Frank Riethmuller’s roses.

p98 ....And behind the hedge, and on a high arched pergola that serves as centrepiece for the garden, grows the cherry-red rose ‘Titian’. For sheer vivid colour it is excelled only by Alister Clark’s ‘Nancy Hayward’. Bred in Sydney in 1934 by the Australian hybridiser Frank Reithmuller, ‘Titian’ bears its large double blooms all through summer. It is a splendid choice for this prominent position, standing out dramatically against the dark green hedge behind and demanding the undivided attention of all garden visitors.
