Identifying a rose

een · July 2021

I have a rose in my garden which I thought was Kordes Brilliant. Bought a second Brilliant and found it is not the same rose at all. I think the rose is a Modern Bush Rose it is about one meter tall after 3-4 years . Anyone have any idea?

I seem to have made a mistake the rose in question is a climber not a bush rose and the Kordes Brilliant is also a climber.

Is it Westerland? A Kordes rose classified as a shrub rose but can also be trained as a climber

Thanks for your interest. I already have Westerland roses in my garden, so although in some ways similar this is not this rose.I have contacted the garden centre where I bought the rose and they say from the pictures that they think that the rose is indeed a Brilliant and any differences in colour are due to the soil I grow it in. Has anyone any experience of this happening? It would appear that the difference in colour is too great
for this to be explained by a difference in soil.
