'Titian' rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:
Roger Mann reports that Titian, although registered as a Floribunda, actually grows more like a shrub or a short climber, at least in Australia. According to Mann, Riethmuller himself recommnded it as a pillar rose. When Mann first saw the original plants in Frank Riethmuller's garden in Sydney in 1962, they were nearly 15 feet tall!
This rose may have been bred much earlier than its registered date. 'Titian' was possibly named after the chestnut-coloured horse Titian which was born in Australia in 1947 and racing circa 1949–1952. Refer comments.
