Notes:
  • “The rose ‘Westerland’ was first bred in Germany in 1969 by Reimer Kordes, son of the famous rose breeder Wilhelm Kordes who started W. Kordes' Sons nursery in Germany. He created the ‘Westerland’ by crossing the Friedrich Worlein rose with the floribunda circus rose. The result is a rather uniquely colored rose that starts off as yellow in the center and darkens outward to shades of orange and apricot.” --- “Westerland Roses,” at 1001landscapingideas.com

  • ‘Westerland’ is grown as a climber, supported by a chain, in the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden.
