I could dig up a Rose for you if you really want one, but it's not so colorful compared to a Bordelon (or Zebrina) or a Jamaican Red.
I have all three of these kinds (Zebrina, not the Bordelon) - and the Rose so far is keeping green.
My Rose:

The above photo should be re-taken. I have since pulled the grass back away from the base, exposing six pseudostems, all from just one plant only a year ago. (It's been pupping very frequently) But it's not a very red plant, if your looking for color while you wait for a flower. But I'd be happy to send you one to get you started with it.

Gabe15's Rose:

According to banana-tree,
"This 12' Indonesian cultivar exhibits a bright pink-red trunk. It produces a high quality fruit. Bright pink/red color is also seen in the leaf petiole and the mid-rib."
But mine is not so pink-red in the trunk!

This is a Dwarf Red, on the other hand. Something you might want to consider.
