Red Riding Hood is a charming floribunda rose from Kordes’ renowned Fairy Tale® Collection, introduced in 2007. It produces clusters of rich, velvety crimson-red blooms in a beautifully old-fashioned, fully double rosette form that holds its colour exceptionally well throughout the season. The medium-sized flowers offer a pleasant sweet fragrance and repeat continuously from late spring until frost, creating a long-lasting display in the garden. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and smaller landscapes. With glossy, healthy foliage, outstanding disease resistance, and excellent weather tolerance, Red Riding Hood is as dependable as it is beautiful, thriving in Ontario’s Zone 5 climate while requiring minimal maintenance.
