I discovered this summer that I have quite the flamboyant rose! It’s called Climbing Westerland and as you can see from the photo above it has vibrant orange petals. It also has a lovely rose scent.

I adore this rose and it’s racy blooms. I only started growing this rose plant last summer (2007), so this has been my first full year with this rose. I must say, I’m not in the least disappointed!

On such a cold day sa this it’s nice to be able to see pictures and remember the flowers I adored all summer.

I haven’t seen this kind of rose yet but I can say that your Climbing Westerland is not a typical rose because of its vibrant orange color and gorgeous petals. Are these roses bigger than our usual rose?

Beautiful, beautiful rose! I really appreciate those wide open petals, like the one we call “rosa colombiana” (Colombian rose) in Brazil, only this one is bright orange, not red. I will be checking up on “Climbing Westerland” to see if it is possible to grow where I live.

That is definitely an unusual colour for a climbing rose! Lovely photograph too :O)
