'Filagree Pillar' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
|
At least six roses bred by Frank Riethmuller were named after racehorses. In the case of 'Gay Vista' we have Riethmuller's own word for it (Your Garden, January 1959, p. 21). The horse Filigree was born in Australia in 1941, racing circa 1943–46. The hybrid tea 'Filagree' (note the variant spelling) was registered in 1962 but evidently named much earlier, making it almost certain that Riethmuller was breeding hybrid teas during the Second World War.

Thanks. Noted. The name possibly due to that scribbling doctor (A. S. Thomas) again and we had better leave this one as 'Filagree'

I agree. Filagree and Filigree are common variants anyway. And Filigree has since been taken by another rose.

The name of this rose appears to be 'Filagree', not 'Filagree Pillar'.
