Vitis 'Rousseau'
Vitis ‘Rousseau’, commonly known as the ‘Rousseau’ grape, is a hardy hybrid grape variety prized for its vigor and reliable production in northern climates. Its vigorous climbing habit, with twining tendrils, is perfectly suited for cultivation on trellises, pergolas, or espalier systems in both gardens and vineyards. It produces medium clusters of dark blue to purplish-black grapes with firm skin and juicy flesh, offering a sweet and slightly fruity flavor. Ripening generally occurs in late summer or early fall. Its deciduous, bright green foliage forms a dense canopy during the growing season. Vitis ‘Rousseau’ attracts pollinators and is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking hardiness and productivity.
