Roses Bloom on the Moorland (German: Rosen blühen auf dem Heidegrab) is a 1929 German silent historical drama film directed by Kurt Blachy and starring Wolfgang von Schwind, Hertha Guthmar and Betty Astor.[1] During the Napoleonic Wars a German inhabitant is sentenced to death for striking a French soldier who assaulted his wife.
Some scenes were shot on location on Lüneburg Heath. The film's sets were designed by August Rinaldi. It received a generally poor reception from critics on its release.
