1969 Four door Saloon Old English White 1275 with ported head and HS4 carb. Wolseley 1500 front brakes. Currently off the road with a leaky master cylinder!
Mine is idling at about 600-650 and sounds as ruff as a dawg!

Aye - 500-600 should be fine once warm. Slow as possible really - to give engine braking where required. If it's rough - then first check the vacuum advance is working (most are not) - then adjust the ignition timing for smoothest idle - then adjust mixture for smoothest idle - back to timing - back to mixture etc.
The BoL for the Midget says 550 for the 1098 and 700 for the 1275. 1098 Mini is 750.
I don't seem to have my Minor BoL to hand, but I reckon the Minor should be around the same as the Mini 1098 as the engines seem to be the same (other than the crank, sump and all that transverse gubbins).
