Magnolia 'King Rose'

Magnolia 'King Rose' is a compact, deciduous magnolia ideal for smaller New Zealand gardens. It grows to around 2 to 2.5 metres tall and wide, forming a neat, rounded shape. In late winter to early spring, it produces soft pink buds that open into semi double, star shaped white flowers. This variety thrives in full sun or part shade with well drained, slightly acidic soil. 'King Rose' is perfect for borders, patios, and sheltered garden spaces.

How to grow the Magnolia 'King Rose' tree in NZ

To grow Magnolia 'King Rose' successfully in New Zealand, choose a sunny or partially shaded site with well drained, slightly acidic soil. Add compost or organic matter when planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during dry periods, especially while the tree is establishing. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring after flowering. Plant in a sheltered position to protect the early buds from frost and strong wind. Minimal pruning is required.

Magnolia 'King Rose' care tips

Mulch around the base each year to keep the soil cool and moist, and to suppress weeds. Water regularly during dry spells, especially while the tree is young. Feed in early spring with a slow release fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Prune only to remove damaged or crossing branches after flowering. Protect flower buds from strong wind and late frosts. Avoid disturbing the roots, as magnolias prefer to be left undisturbed once established.
