Rose of the Mountain (German: Du bist die Rose vom Wörthersee) is a 1952 West German musical comedy film directed by Hubert Marischka and starring Marte Harell, Grethe Weiser and Waltraut Haas. It takes its German title from a popular 1947 song of the same name, which is used in the film as a melody. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin and on location in Carinthia at the Hotel Karawankenblick in Pörtschach and around the lake of Wörthersee. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Willi Herrmann and Heinrich Weidemann.
