    We calculate the branching ratio of a bottom hadron decaying into a charmed hadron and a charged ρ\rho meson within the QCD factorization approach. We consider the effect of the finite width correction of the ρ\rho meson. Our numerical calculation shows an obvious correction because of this effect. We find that the finite width effect of the ρ\rho meson reduces the branching ratios by about 9% to 11% for bottom meson decay channels: B+D0ˉρ+B^+\to\bar{D^0}\rho^+, B0Dρ+B^0\to D^-\rho^+, and Bs0Dsρ+B^0_s\to D^-_s\rho^+, and increases the branching ratio by about 10% for Λb0Λc+ρ\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda_c^+\rho^-.Comment: 12 page
