AC Rosebud

AC Rosebud earned the American Dahlia Society's Cream of the Crop recognition with fifteen show awards in 2022, the kind of season that marks a variety as both a winner and a worker. The rose-red bloom with its glowing golden eye is the sort of warm, friendly flower that moves product at a farm stand, and growers say bouquets containing it sell quickly. It sold out at Duralia and Good Life Dahlias. The AC prefix marks a breeder we could not confirm by name, so the origins stay flagged.

AC Rosebud is a small informal decorative in rose-red with a golden center, a warm two-tone that does real work in mixed bouquets. At four to five inches it is a usable cut size. Standard care, stake and pinch. Growers report that bouquets with this flower sell quickly, which is the practical endorsement that matters at a market table. It was an ADS Cream of the Crop honoree with fifteen show awards in a single season, so it has the bench record to match its market appeal. Hybridizer and year stay open in our sources.
