Climbing rose 'Westerland'

Climbing Rose 'Westerland' (Rosa 'Westerland'). 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 release 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 trained as a large free-standing shrub. Very floriferous and repeat-flowering, it offers abundant blooms from early summer until the first frosts.

To plant the 'Westerland' climbing rose, choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.5 m (5 ft) to plan for this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 2 m (6.6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
