Although a comparatively recent hybridist, Frank Riethmuller of Sydney, bred a number of fine roses which are very much in the style of some forty years earlier. Whilst perhaps best know for the ever popular Titian, his series of polyanthas bred in the late 1950’s are his most distinctive contribution to Australian rose-breeding. When used together, these make an excellent, informal and multi-coloured hedge of approximately one metre in height. He was rewarded with the T.A. Steward Memorial Award in 1959.
