Apparently a rose for cooler climates than our zone 8 SE VIrginia. All the photos posted were from cooler climes. Or maybe it's that Kordes is really marketing the rose in Europe but in the US not so much?

The parentage gives me pause, as Westerland defoliated from BS almost completely in Texas, and Ohio. Likely would do the same here. Nonetheless, I love Westerland and love the looks of this one
