Rosa 'Korelamba' BORDEAUX® shrub rose / floribunda (Kordes)

BORDEAUX® is a fantastic achievement by Kordes. New varieties are commonly made by breeding older and reliable roses, however, in this case Tim Hermann Kordes crossed two unnamed seedlings in 2004, and the result is a beautiful and healthy floribunda rose. Its flowers are 8-9 cm across, deep wine red, almost non-scented, and bloom continuously from June until October. Leaves are deep green, glossy, and very healthy. The plant makes a bushy and well-branched shrub about 80 cm tall and 50 cm wide. It was introduced in 2014 and patented as PP27621 in 2017.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. During the flowering season regular feeding is recommended.

Pruning: Regular deadheading during the flowering season will enhance production of new flower buds - remove stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets where the stem is strong and does not bend. Hard prune the whole shrub in early spring after frosts to 3-5 live buds above the ground.
