KA's Desert Rose Dahlia
Description
KA's Desert Rose delivers lush, fully double blooms in warm, sun-kissed tones—think rosy blush with desert-sunset undertones—that glow in the garden and in the vase. Held on strong stems, its generously petaled flowers create a romantic, high-impact look for borders and cut-flower arranging, with the kind of color that pairs beautifully with creams, bronzes, and deep burgundies.
