The story is quite long, and it is part of the King Dietrich legend cycle. I blogged about it extensively:

Basically it is a story of cultures clashing, prejudice, revenge, regret, and reconciliation. The human knights trample King Laurin's rose garden, and get into a battle with the king defending his honor and his property. The story unfolds from here, but the point is, I always imagined King Laurin's kingdom full of rhodochrosite roses...
