ASTERIA™ Pixie® – pink dwarf mini rose
Compact and naturally neat, ASTERIA™ Pixie® is a miniature rose designed for small spaces and stylish family gardens, giving you refined cottage character without demanding care. Its low, bushy habit stays tidy along paths, in front gardens or beneath windows, while the dense dark-green foliage creates a polished backdrop for the soft mid-pink blooms. Clusters of double flowers repeat generously, keeping containers and beds looking fresh from summer into autumn with only light deadheading and routine feeding. As an own-root rose it settles in securely, building a long-lived, well-anchored plant that copes reliably with typical British weather, even in gardens where strong wind and rain can quickly spoil less robust choices. Ideal for 40–50 litre pots on patios or balconies, it offers versatile planting options and easily partners with herbs and perennials for a balanced cottage mix. In the ground it forms a low, compact edging or ground-cover strip, perfect when you want a rose that simply fits in and performs. With patient, basic care it follows a natural development rhythm—roots settling first, then stronger shoots, then full ornamental impact—supporting straightforward planning for your garden.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
