Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping), the bare-root rose received appears healthy to me. Planted near the 'Eric Tabarly / Red Eden' variety, I am now patiently awaiting its growth...or not?" Analysis: - "rosier en racines nues" is correctly translated as "bare-root rose" - "Mis en terre" is translated as "planted" - "proche de la variété" is translated as "near the variety" - "j'attends maintenant patiemment la reprise...(ou pas ?)" is translated as "I am now patiently awaiting its growth...or not?

Description

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.

Planting and care

Plant your 'Bordeaux' Rose in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Modern roses are tolerant, but they do not appreciate excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden if the soil is well-worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To install your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and place an amendment, such blood,fish and bone, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment.

Pruning modern perpetual roses is essential for flowering. It is done in three steps:

1. Maintenance pruning: regularly shorten the flowering shoots during the season. Remove faded flowers along with their stem to encourage the reblooming of perpetual roses, leaving 2 or 3 leaves.

2. Preparatory pruning in autumn: light pruning precedes spring pruning. In regions with cold winters, it is not recommended to avoid weakening the bush.

3. Spring pruning: in February-March, when the buds have grown into shoots 2 to 3 cm (1in) long, prune the young, strong branches by a quarter of their length.

Pruning always aims to open the bush's centre and remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots. The most vigorous branches, usually 3 to 6 well-positioned, should be retained to maintain an attractive habit. Always prune at a diagonal, ½ cm to 1 cm (0in) above an outward-facing bud.

Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These stains are not harmful to the rose but are natural.

Care

Pruning instructions Remember the following information about pruning modern perpetual roses for optimal flowering: There are three steps involved in pruning perpetual roses: 1. Maintenance pruning: Regularly trim the branches that have bloomed during the season. Remove faded flowers along with their stem to encourage the repeat flowering of perpetual roses, leaving 2 or 3 leaves. 2. Autumn preparatory pruning: A light pruning that precedes proper spring pruning. It is not recommended in regions with cold winters, as it can weaken the bush. 3. Spring pruning: Prune the young, strong branches to a quarter of their length in February-March, when the buds have become shoots measuring 2 to 3 cm long. The primary purpose of pruning is to clear the centre of the bush and remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots. Always retain the most vigorous branches, typically 3 to 6 well-positioned branches, to maintain an attractive habit. Finally, prune at a ½ cm or 1 cm angle above an outward-facing bud.
