'Dwarf King' Miniature Rose: Complete Growing Guide

Bred by Kordes in Germany (1957), 'Dwarf King' is a charming miniature rose perfect for small spaces, borders, or container gardening. Here's everything you need to know:

Plant Characteristics

  • Flower: Medium carmine red, double (25 petals), cupped-to-flat form
  • Bloom habit: Singly and in clusters, slightly fragrant
  • Foliage: Glossy, disease-resistant
  • Size: Compact—12 inches tall × 8 inches wide

Planting & Spacing

For a dense hedge effect, space plants 8 inches apart. For normal growth with good air circulation, allow 12 inches between plants. This miniature thrives in full sun with well-drained soil amended with organic matter.

Care Tips

Treat like standard roses: regular watering (avoid wet foliage), balanced fertilizer during growing season, and winter protection in colder zones. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering. Its compact size makes it ideal for edging, rock gardens, or patio containers.
