About Bordeaux Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘KORpaulex’ — Bordeaux
🌹 A Kordes Romantic Rose
Bordeaux is a lush, moody, deeply romantic floribunda renowned for its velvety clusters of rich wine-red blooms. Bred by the world-famous Kordes family in Germany, this award-winning beauty brings old-world charm together with the exceptional health and reliability Kordes roses are known for. Its saturated, merlot-colored petals seem to glow in evening light, adding an irresistible touch of European elegance to any garden.
Expect beautifully cupped blooms held in generous clusters, a wonderfully rounded shrub form, and a soft, fruity fragrance that surprises you when you lean in close. Bordeaux is a standout for borders, cutting gardens, and cottage-style plantings—thriving even in challenging climates thanks to its excellent disease resistance.
Why Gracie Loves It
