| List of rose varieties | |
The rose variety Westerland (syn. 'KORwest') was crossed by the rose breeder Reimer Kordes in 1969 from the yellow Floribunda 'Friedrich Wörlein' (Kordes 1963) and the pink-yellow Floribunda 'Circus' (Swim 1956). It is named after the place Westerland on the island of Sylt.
The popular shrub rose grows up to about 2 m high; in warm regions it is also cultivated as a low climbing rose. 'Westerland' blooms from early summer into autumn. The loosely double flowers are amber, orange to copper colored, fragrant flowers, reach a diameter of about 12 cm and are in clusters of 5 - 10.
The plant grows vigorously and has healthy, dark green foliage, while the young shoots have reddish leaves.
A lighter sport (USA, 1986) of 'Westerland' with pale yellow to salmon-colored flowers is 'Autumn Sunset' - a variety that is mainly cultivated in the USA.
