Another super-hardy rose, Westerland
Wayside Gardens was mentioned in the New York Times because we are one of the few US carriers of the super hardy Kordes roses. The roses from German breeder, Kordes, have been selectively bred since the early nineties to be resistant to everything that rosarians hate about growing roses.
No harmful chemicals are necessary to prevent black-spot– these rose are inately durable and are expected to perform even better in the climate of the United States. In Germany, the climate is cooler than most of the United States. The Kordes roses do well in germany, but these hardy lovelies are expected to take off in the places in the US that have longer growing seasons.
