Full description:
Westerland is one of those roses that never goes unnoticed. From the moment its first flowers open, it fills the garden with colour, movement and fragrance, creating the kind of display that naturally draws people closer.
The large blooms appear in small clusters and glow in rich shades of orange that can shift subtly through tones of apricot, amber and sunset gold as the flowers mature. Their warm colouring gives the rose a cheerful, uplifting presence that works beautifully against walls, fences and garden structures.
Created by Reimer Kordes in 1969, Westerland has earned a reputation as one of the great modern climbing roses. Decades after its introduction, gardeners around the world still choose it for the same reasons: abundant flowering, vigorous growth and a fragrance strong enough to be noticed long before the flowers are reached.
Flowering repeatedly throughout the season, Westerland quickly develops into a substantial plant capable of transforming vertical spaces into colourful garden features. Whether climbing over an arch, softening a wall or becoming the focal point of a pergola, it brings a sense of warmth and vitality that few roses can match.
At Famous Roses, we consider Westerland one of those varieties that combines technical reliability with emotional impact — a rose that performs well, but also makes people smile every time it blooms.
