Looks good to me! My Westerland has been moved, so after a couple of years in my garden it hasn't grown that large. If you spread the 2 roses out so that there's equal distance between them and on the ends, you'll probably cover that trellis in 4 years or less in your warmer zone.

I planted two Westerland roses against my 7' trellis. In four years they had completely covered it.

Wow, that's gorgeous Harry, thanks for posting a pic!

What is the small lavender flower growing with the rose? Is it a clematis?

Harrshoe, you posted that photo in another thread and it made me decide to go with the Westerland! It is so gorgeous. Do you spray?

Harry, your photo also inspired me. I have a Westerland from Pickering I'm looking at right now.

Wow! How do you ever prune that thing?! Gorgeous! I can only hope mine grows as large!

The pruning is what I am working on now. I remove a lot each spring. I'm trying to follow Paul Z's instructions about training horizontal branches to increase the amount of new growth.

I bought these from Edmunds back when they were still a family-run operation. They sold it as cl. Westerland. I'm still not sure if there was a difference, but some of the canes reached 10' by year 4.

I do spray fungicide about once a month. Westerland is more resistant than a typical HT. The Peace rose to its right will practically defoliate when I get too lazy while W will have only minimal damage.

The color can be spectacular. Shown with Betty Corning clematis.

Beautiful! And sooo fragrant too! I can smell mine from across the yard!
