KA's Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is one of the newer dahlias in Kristine Albrecht's catalog, with a retailer listing a 2026 year that is likely its retail debut rather than a confirmed registration date, a distinction we record. Stonehouse frames it plainly as a workhorse accent for bouquets and installation work, which is its own kind of compliment in a catalog full of showpieces. Albrecht breeds in Santa Cruz, and the trademarked KA's line is propagated and sold by licensed partner farms, not by her directly. The variety fills a practical role: a tall, productive medium pink for designers who need volume and dependability. As a new release it sells in limited quantities and is best reserved early.

Rose Quartz is a formal decorative, ADS class BB, with blooms in the 4 to 6 inch range on tall plants near 60 inches. Stonehouse calls it a workhorse accent for bouquets and installation work, which tells you how to use it: a reliable medium pink that fills and supports a design rather than starring in it. At 5 feet it needs firm staking. Pinch once and disbud lightly for stem length. The color detail is worth noting, a medium pink deepening at the center with a white highlight on the inner petals, so blooms have dimension up close. As a recent release it ships in limited quantities, so reserve through Stonehouse or another partner farm early. A dependable cutting pink with a little extra interest at the center, built for volume work.
