About Red Ribbons™ Bare Root Rose Bush

Rosa ‘KORtemma’ — Red Ribbons™
🌹 A Kordes Groundcover / Low Shrub Rose

Red Ribbons™ is a joyful, cascading groundcover rose from Kordes that delivers waves of bright, glowing red flowers from spring until frost. This variety is beloved for its spreading, ribbon-like habit—sending out arching stems that drape beautifully along borders, spill over walls, and create blankets of bold color in the landscape.

The blooms are small, semi-double, and produced in generous clusters that cover the plant in a continuous show. Its glossy dark foliage stays exceptionally clean thanks to Kordes’ renowned disease-resistant breeding. Red Ribbons™ thrives with little fuss, making it the perfect choice for high-impact, low-maintenance landscapes.
