One of Helen’s roses was a mystery – a low-growing rose with golden stamens and distinctive red hips. After consultation with four knowledgeable HRIA members in three states, the consensus was Snow Spray. Snow Spray is a Floribunda� bred in about 1957 by Frank Riethmuller. Photos of Snow Spray growing in the Riethmuller Collection in the Qld State Rose Garden, Newtown Park, Toowoomba, taken on 2nd November this year by Bonita Cattell, Co-ordinator of the Darling Downs HRIA Region and sent to Susan Wade, supported the consensus. Do check out the video of the Riethmuller Collection at Newtown Park posted on the HRIA facebook page by Bonita on 2nd November, 2020.

Patricia Davidson, Darling Downs. Another group I’ve had success with are the Reithmuller roses. Reithmuller was from Toowoomba and a relative of his here is trying to get people on the Downs interested. From cuttings I’ve grown the following. Large trusses of small very double flowers: Snow Spray completely white and.... The above roses all have Gartendirektor Otto Linne somewhere in their breeding and have the same leaf formation and long arching canes.

Letter from Philip Sutherland, Golden Vale Nursery, Benalla, Vic:
I would like to publicly thank the families of Frank Riethmuller and Dick Alterton respectively for their assistance with the continued conservation of their relatives roses. Frank Riethmuller’s two polyanthas from the breeding of Gartendirektor Otto Linne - Snow Spray (white) and Esmeralda (pink) - are now under production. ........... It makes me wonder what other roses currently presumed extinct may be lurking in the gardens of south-east Queensland.

Mr. E. Welsh, Roseromantic 83. Our first day in Hamburg....but the lure of the German Rose Society’s headquarters rose garden at Dortmund was too much for some of us Australian rose addicts. The grounds are undulating with the rose beds set among lawns with Conifers, Beeches and Elms as backgrounds. One section contains beds of varieties from individual countries. The Australian bed was in a mess with many bare patches, no doubt due to winter kill. The varieties were very old, e.g. ‘Snow Spray’ and ....
