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.
