Planted this rose during the Covid years , so about 4 to 5 year old and it’s a blooming machine .Never without a bloom. Added bonus of it being resistant to blackspot. I just wish that the blooms were larger. It’s blooms are about 3- 3.5 inches during the spring but smaller during the summer.

I have this rose for two years. The first year it grew somewhat and had three or four very small red blooms. I must say it was a bit disappointing. The second year it grew more and has her first three blooms that are double in size since last year's blooms. Her blooms are rich red color and fully filled with layers of petals.
I'm glad I gave her time to open up.

Bordeaux is the most beautiful red rose I have. Multiple blooms and they keep coming. Nicely shaped- size is perfect - I loved it so much I ordered another one

If you want this rose you won’t regret it. West Virginia, mostly eastern sun, clay soil.
I have discovered Bordeaux has Rose Hips! Add that to the list of qualities. She grew to about 4 feet, no issues, lots of blooms and has been one of the only roses that produced blooms though summer in spite of heat and drought. I’m grabbing with Japanese beetles. She is probably the least affected of all my roses (22 of them, different varieties). She grows right next to my Generous Gardener which gets the most beetles and still hardly gets any beetles. I have other roses I’m constantly babying for bugs and fungus. Not this one. A late winter prune, some fertilizer, and she’s done for the year except when I water my nearby vegetable garden. Bordeaux is definitely a robust specimen. I don’t usually favor red roses, and her color is even more beautiful than the photographs here. A hue red for sure. Money well spent.
