AC Rosebud

AC Rosebud carries a darker, more romantic mood, and she is especially effective when paired with blush, cream, or copper tones. Rosy-red to fuchsia-brushed petals soften toward a warm golden center, often with a tightly swirled darker center that gives the bloom its rosebud character.

🌱 2027 Grow-Out: This variety will arrive at Hedge & Alchemy in Spring 2027 and will be grown here for the first time that season. It will not be offered in our 2027 tuber sale.
