Rosa floribunda Bordeaux

The Bush Rose Bordeaux® 'Korelamba' is a Kordes creation, a bush rose with large velvety flowers whose name reflects the Bordeaux colour. It has a regular, upright silhouette, well-suited for flower beds and borders. Its double flowers, with a wide and full cup shape, emit a pleasant fruity fragrance. This rose blooms continuously until the frost, with healthy foliage resistant to powdery mildew and blackspot.

The 'Bordeaux' Rose is a modern bush rose with large flowers bred by Kordes in 2014. It is a hybrid of the Rosa floribunda, very cold and disease resistant. It forms a bushy and upright shrub with vigorous and strong vegetation, reaching a height of approximately 80 cm (32in) and a width of 50 cm (20in) at maturity. It produces strong and thorny branches that bear very dark green foliage, which is resistant to diseases. From May to October, if the faded flowers are removed, the plant continuously produces large flowers with a diameter of 10 cm (4in), in well-filled cups. They are of an intense Bordeaux red colour. Solitary, they are carried at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging from the 2-year-old stems.

This 'Bordeaux' rose is ideal for small spaces due to its modest dimensions. Its upright and regular habit makes it a good plant for flower beds and borders. Pair it with light blue-flowered perennials, such as sages, geraniums, or mauve-colored nepetas. Sow nigella seeds. Plant silver-leaved plants like Artemisia or purple-leaved plants like Heucheras. Golden spike grasses make a beautiful complement to its red flower. With their beautiful dark reflections, small bushes like Berberis or Physocarpus also enhance its beauty.
