Latin name
Rosa 'Westerland'
Common name
Climbing rose 'Westerland'
Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The Rosa ‘Westerland’, a vigorous and intensely fragrant modern climbing rose, is distinguished by its large, semi-double apricot-orange flowers with salmon and copper highlights, whose warm hue subtly evolves as they bloom. Grouped in generous clusters, they emit a powerful and spicy fragrance, particularly noticeable at the end of the day. Its flexible and robust climbing habit allows it to quickly cover trellises, pergolas, or fences, while also being able to be grown as a large, free-standing shrub. Very floriferous and recurrent, it offers abundant blooms from early summer until the first frosts. Its dark green, dense, and glossy foliage shows excellent disease resistance, making it a reliable variety for Nordic climates. The Rosa ‘Westerland’ brings vibrant color, verticality, and sustained fragrance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
