Description:

KA’s® Cinder Rose is an exceptionally elegant dahlia celebrated for its sophisticated blend of smoky mauve, dusty rose, and soft blush tones. Each bloom unfolds in perfectly arranged layers of delicate petals, accented by subtle golden highlights along the tips. The intricate coloration creates a luminous, antique appearance that shifts beautifully with changing light, making every flower a captivating display of natural artistry.

Developed by renowned dahlia hybridizer Kristine Albrecht and offered through the Stonehouse Dahlias collection, KA’s® Cinder Rose combines extraordinary beauty with outstanding garden performance. Its compact, symmetrical blooms maintain their refined shape throughout the growing season, while sturdy stems and generous flower production make it an exceptional choice for professional cut-flower growers. The variety is particularly valued for its ability to perform well in warmer growing conditions while producing consistently beautiful blooms.

Growing & Cut Notes:

• Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart to promote healthy airflow and strong growth.

• Pinch plants when they reach approximately 12 inches tall to encourage branching and increased flower production.

• Harvest when blooms are nearly fully open, with firm centers and well-developed petals, for optimal vase life.

• Provide staking or netting to support stems during periods of heavy flowering or adverse weather.

• Dahlias are frost-tender; lift and store tubers after the first frost in colder climates.

Best For:

Luxury wedding bouquets, romantic and vintage-inspired floral arrangements, premium cut-flower production, and sophisticated garden displays featuring muted blush and mauve tones.
