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.

The early Australian references (1956, 1957 and 1958 etc) referred to Titian as being a tall-growing shrub.
In 1962 Mr. Kordes was writing in the Australian Rose Annual “Titian is still a very fine variety, especially for Germany, as our people are very fond of double, tall growing roses”. However, he listed it in his 1964 Roses book, mysteriously quoting a height of 20 inches , [as did Krussman in 1974 who quoted 16 inches]. I feel that there may not have ever been a Kordes ‘Climbing Titian’ sport, but perhaps when these little plants got into some good German soil, it remembered that it really was a tall-growing pillar/shrub rose. Is there any hard evidence of this 1964 Kordes ‘Climbing Titian’?

Frank Riethmuller was a constant correspondent with Kordes (in German). Refer Breeder > Riethmuller window.

Refer also to the references for 'Titian', 1955.
