CLEOPÁTRA™ – red-yellow dwarf mini rose
Compact and naturally bushy, CLEOPÁTRA™ brings neat structure and vivid red-yellow blooms to smaller gardens, pots and front borders without demanding expert care. Its remontant flowering habit means waves of small, double, cup-shaped blooms from early summer onwards, with a subtle fruity perfume that suits close-up seating areas and terraces. Dense, glossy foliage and reliably resistant health keep the plant looking tidy with minimal intervention, even where summer humidity and rainfall challenge many roses, while the own-root habit supports a long, steady garden life. Ideal for low hedging, edging and containers, it settles quickly and builds a strong framework over time as roots first establish, then shoots fill out, and by the third year full ornamental value appears. Its modest height and versatile planting distances make it easy to weave into cottage-style mixes or family-friendly layouts for reliably colourful summer displays.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden edging along paths
The naturally compact, low-growing habit makes CLEOPÁTRA™ ideal for edging paths and drives, forming a neat, defined line without blocking sightlines or overpowering other plants. With recommended spacings of 25–30 cm, it knits into a small, tidy hedge that is easy to maintain and suits the scale of typical British front gardens, giving structured colour without complex pruning for the busy homeowner.
Small feature beds in family gardens
The bushy, rounded shape and dense foliage help this rose read as a complete miniature shrub, so a group of 3–5 plants easily fills a small bed or corner without gaps. Over a few seasons, own-root growth gradually builds a durable, balanced clump that copes well with regular family use around play or seating areas, offering dependable structure and colour with minimal reshaping for the practical gardener.
Containers on terraces and patios
Its dwarf proportions and strong, fibrous root system adapt well to large pots, making CLEOPÁTRA™ a good choice for terraces and balconies when planted in containers of at least 40–50 litres. The compact canopy sits comfortably above the rim, leaving room for watering and underplanting, while own-root resilience supports long-term re-potting and repositioning, suiting the flexible needs of the urban gardener.
Low-maintenance cottage-style borders
The remontant flowering habit supplies repeat colour in classic cottage schemes without constant deadheading or complex feeding regimes. Its reliable health and low maintenance requirement mean it can sit among perennials and grasses, quietly holding its place as surrounding plants rise and fall through the seasons, supporting an informal yet manageable look for the relaxed beginner.
Mixed colour schemes with perennials and grasses
The distinctive red and yellow bicolour petals stand out clearly against dark green foliage, making CLEOPÁTRA™ a strong accent among partners like phlox, clematis and feather-reed grass. With very good colour retention, blooms hold their impact between maintenance visits, allowing attractive, balanced compositions even when gardening time is limited for the design-conscious owner.
Partially shaded house-side borders
Suitable for partial shade, this rose performs well where sunlight is limited to a few hours, such as east- or west-facing walls and narrow side returns. Consistent compact growth helps it remain upright and floriferous rather than sprawling for light, creating reliable colour and form in otherwise tricky areas that often defeat fussier varieties for the time-pressed gardener.
Coastal or exposed small gardens
Dense foliage and a sturdy, low framework help CLEOPÁTRA™ stay neat and anchored where wind and frequent rain can stress taller roses, supporting stable growth even in more exposed British gardens with careful watering in drier spells. Its disease resistance assists in keeping leaves clean under damp, changeable conditions, offering reassurance to the weather-aware buyer.
Family gardens seeking long-term planting
As an own-root plant, CLEOPÁTRA™ gradually thickens from the base, regenerating well after pruning and offering reliable, repeat flowering year after year with low input. Over time, this creates a small but enduring feature that copes with routine trimming and shifting family needs, making it a thoughtful long-term choice for the planning-conscious householder.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Front Border – Combine with lavender, catmint and soft pink perennials for a low, flowing cottage feel along the front path – ideal for those who favour classic, informal planting with little pruning.
Terrace-Focal Pot – Plant CLEOPÁTRA™ in a 40–50 litre clay pot with trailing thyme or ivy around the base to highlight its compact, bushy shape – perfect for balcony and terrace owners wanting neat, repeat colour.
Mini-Hedge Line – Use close planting at 25–30 cm spacings to edge a driveway or front path, creating a tidy, colourful low hedge – suited to households seeking simple structure that is easy to keep in check.
Perennial-Mix Accent – Thread small groups among phlox, clematis and ornamental grasses so the red-yellow blooms pop against airy foliage – attractive for gardeners who like mixed borders but prefer low-maintenance roses.
Family-Friendly Corner – Build a compact rose island of 3–5 plants with a mulch ring for easy mowing and minimal weeding – a good option for busy families wanting durable colour near seating or play spaces.

Fragrance and aroma
Exhibits a mild, delicately fruity fragrance, most noticeable at close range; primarily valued for its visual impact rather than strong scent, and moderately attractive for use near seating areas.
Hip characteristics

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.
