The Kentucky Derby rose is a classic hybrid tea bush rose prized for its rich, dark red blooms that hold their vibrant colour from bud right through to full flower. Known for free‑flowering performance and a mild, pleasing fragrance, this rose produces large, shapely flowers on long, strong stems — ideal for both garden display and cutting for bouquets.

Supplied as a bare‑rooted plant, Kentucky Derby is lifted during dormancy and delivered without soil around its roots, making it easy to plant and encouraging vigorous root establishment once in the ground. Bare‑root roses can develop strong root systems that support healthy growth and abundant flowering when planted in the cool season.

Once planted in a sunny, well‑drained position, this rose forms an upright, medium‑sized bush (around 1.2 m tall) with lush green foliage that sets off its deep red blooms beautifully. It produces repeat flushes of flowers from spring through to autumn, creating a long season of classic hybrid tea colour and form.

Ideal for garden beds, borders, and rose collections, Kentucky Derby combines timeless elegance, reliable performance, and a rich red palette that adds striking depth and traditional charm to any landscape.
