Peony ‘Karl Rosenfield’ (also spelled Paeony or Paeonia) is a truly spectacular variety, celebrated for its vivid pink-red blooms and lush, frilly double petals. Each flower is bold and full-bodied, with a wonderfully rich fragrance that fills the garden with a classic, nostalgic scent.

The vibrant blooms are beautifully offset by a backdrop of deep green foliage, creating a striking contrast that enhances their intense colour. ‘Karl Rosenfield’ typically comes into full bloom around July, making it a standout feature in the midsummer garden.

Perfect for English cottage garden schemes, this peony adds an air of old-world romance and charm, whether planted in borders, perennial beds, or used as a showpiece in a cut flower arrangement.

Hardy and long-lived, Karl Rosenfield will return year after year with minimal care, bringing with it a burst of colour and fragrance. If you're looking for a low-maintenance perennial that offers timeless beauty and robust performance, this peony is a must-have for your garden collection.

Planting Peonies in the Garden

If planting in the garden, plant up your bare root Peonies when the soil is warm, ideally in Spring.
Plant in full sun or partially shaded areas.
Add grit to heavier soils where necessary.
Don't plant the roots too deep, the eyes of the Peony should be 3-5cm below the surface of the soil.

Planting Peonies in Pots/Containers

If planting in pots, you can plant Peonies at any time.
Plant Peonies with the eyes just 3-5cm below the surface of the soil.
If planting your Peonies in a pot, choose a pot at least 30cm (12") in diameter with adequate drainage holes at the base.
Use a soil based compost such as John Innes No3.
Peonies are fine planted in a pot for a few years but they may out grow their pot due to their large root system.

Care Instructions

How to Care for Peonies

Only water your peonies if they experience a really dry spell. They do not need much watering.
For larger flower heads, de-bud the side shoots in April/May time with a sharp knife. However, if you prefer more flower heads than larger flower heads, then leave them be.
Resist cutting the flowers the first couple of years to encourage better growth.
Once everything has died back for the season, cut back and remove all old foliage to ground level to reduce the risk of infection from peony wilt disease.
Peonies are fully hardy so don't need any winter protection.
