Which of the 'Westerland' sport family has the best color?
Which has color which is clear, not dull, and doesn't turn pinkish?
I have read that 'Westerland' is excellent for cold climates, repeats and is fragrant, but I have never cared for the color.

Maybe more fun in sowing Your own Westerland seedlings (most of the outcome is splendid) than buy a sport?
In my humble opinion, some of my seedlings are way better than the mother/hip-parent Westerland.
Better scented, longer lasting, nicer foliage an better growing habit/better suited as a climber.

The plant Jay-Jay gave me is a most satisfactory pink/orange/red colour and very healthy too.

Please take a look at my this years' seedlings in my journal and my earlier seedlings of Westerland at my breeder page.

Your seedlings look splendid. For me to grow some I would have to buy a 'Westerland', which I don't really want to do.

This-one might come to The States with Becky and John Hook from Roseraie du Désert: https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.69439.2

I love your 'Noortje'. Now, that shows good color and good shape as well, IMO.
I don't think the Hooks have made it to the US yet.

Thank You for Your kind compliment

Are seeds restricted by importing laws?

Autumn Sunset was by far my favorite. I used to have one trained for years.

Hi All,,,Do any of you know where I could get a couple of Lemon Meringue Roses? I've called nurseries and garden centers all over the US with no luck. Bare root, potted or cuttings, doesnt matter to me. I had one for years and it was the best rose Ive ever grown. I am in Atlanta. It took the heat and humidity like a charm. But I lost it one spring and cannot find it again in the US. Of the 50+ roses I grow this one was the best in every way, Hopfully I can find a Westerland and an Autumn Sunset soon....If I have those maybe I'll get the same growth and habit as in lemon meringue and who knows, maybe a sport of Lemon Meringue from the Autumn Sunset will form!! My Lemon Meringue grew sports of the westerland several times. Thanks

Hortico has it. A gamble, but they have it.
