Olive Fitzhardinge (1884–1965) was an Australian rose breeder.

The appearance of a gentleman. Studio photo of Frank Riethmuller in Townsville about 1910, when he was 26.
Riethmuller began to show roses in Sydney when he was about sixty.

Biography

Searching the New South Wales birth, death and marriage records as well as the Sydney phone directory adds details which may help someone researching Mrs Fitzhardinge. Olive Rose MacMaster was born in 1881 in Warialda district, married in 1909 in Woollahra, died in 1956 at Chatsworth. Dr Hardinge Clarence Fitzhardinge (1878–1958) was a Macquarie Street dentist. They had "Bridge End," 1.5 acres at No. 1 Warrawee Avenue, Warrawee till 1937 (going by the phone directory), then moved to Mandurama on the NSW central tablelands. (The "bridge end" concerned is the eastern end of the footbridge to the Warrawee railway station.) The present house at "Bridge End" was built about 1939. Mrs Fitzhardinge's last roses were registered in 1939 but she probably bred them before 1937. They had daughters Jean Mary Dean (b. 1909) and Olive Prudence Bryant (b. 1912) and sons Colin Hardinge Fitzhardinge (1914–1998, a farmer who married Joan Phipson, the children's writer, in 1944) and Brian Forbes Fitzhardinge (1917–1932).

Rose breeding

Riethmuller in old age in his Turramurra garden. If those roses are hybrid teas bred by him, they are lost and probably no longer exist.
'Titian,' 1950. Deep pink blooms the size of coffee-cup saucers. Well formed at every stage and usually in flower.
'Titian' flowers start with a rich damask and hybrid tea scent but it fades as the colour fades.
