'WEKradler' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

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.

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

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.

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.
