Uetersens Rosenkönigin (also Uetersener Rosenkönigin ) is a modern shrub rose from W. Kordes' sons . It was introduced to celebrate the 775th anniversary of the rose city of Uetersen and the 75th anniversary of the Uetersen rosarium , the oldest and largest rosarium in northern Germany.

It is dedicated to the Uetersen rose queens who represent the city at exhibitions and fairs. Uetersen's rose queen is a sport of the climbing rose Rosarium Uetersen and was publicly christened in the Uetersener Rosarium by TV presenter John Langley.

It is a frequently blooming shrub rose with an arching overhanging growth. Under good conditions it can reach a height of two meters. The flower color ranges from orange to medium red, which later changes to shimmering silvery. The up to 11 cm large, hardly scented, rosette-shaped flowers are well filled. The rose leaves are mostly medium to dark green and glossy. They bloom from June to the first frost.

Uetersen's rose queen is particularly frost hardy down to −31 ° C ( USDA zone 4 ). It is considered to be particularly weatherproof. The shrub rose is also suitable for trellises, facades and rose arches. Due to its broad, bushy habit, it can also be used as a single rose.
