ASTERIA™ Pixie® – pink dwarf mini rose
If You want a small rose that works hard in a compact space, ASTERIA™ Pixie® brings a carpet of pink blooms on a naturally dwarf, compact bush that fits perfectly beside paths, front gates or on balconies. Its dense, glossy foliage keeps the plant looking fresh even between flushes, while the repeat flowering habit means You enjoy colour again and again over our changeable Irish summers, even where the air is often damp and rainfall can challenge less reliable roses. As an own‑root plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot, it settles in steadily for dependable, long‑term structure in small beds, edging or containers. In the first year it focuses on roots, in the second on stronger shoots, and by the third year it reveals its full ornamental value as a cheerful, low, flowering cushion in Your garden.
Asteria™ in several opening stages, from vivid pink bud to soft mid-pink bloom.
ASTERIA™ shows a small, double, cup-shaped pink bloom.
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden edging in a small family plot
The naturally low, compact habit forms a tidy, flowered edge along drives and paths without constant clipping, giving a neat look that still feels soft and welcoming for busy homeowners who prefer simplicity
Balcony or terrace containers
Its dwarf size suits pots where space is tight; choose a container of at least 40–50 litres and it will fill out into a rounded mini shrub with repeat flowers, ideal for city balconies and roof terraces used by apartment‑dwellers
Small mixed bed near the front door
Clusters of mid-pink flowers sit above dark, glossy foliage, giving a bright yet harmonious accent that combines easily with perennials and small shrubs, creating a welcoming entrance for everyday visitors
Low mini-rose group of 3–5 plants
Planted in a small group, the uniform, bushy shape creates a mini rose drift, offering continuous colour and a structured look that works well in average suburban plots cared for by beginners
Urban front gardens with limited depth
Where the planting strip between pavement and house is narrow, the short height and good hardiness allow reliable flowering without blocking windows or views, fitting the needs of time‑pressed urban families
Rural cottage-style borders
Its soft, cottage-garden pink pairs naturally with informal companions like chives or Lychnis, giving a relaxed, romantic feel that still stays orderly enough for traditional country-home gardeners
Easy-care rose for wetter, windy sites
Hardy to typical Irish winters and tolerant of our cool, moist conditions, it offers stable flowering structure even where regular Atlantic breezes and frequent showers might trouble more demanding roses, reassuring cautious starters
Low-maintenance family seating area border
Placed around a patio or seating area, its modest fragrance and small, double flowers give gentle colour without overwhelming scent, while own‑root vigour supports long-term reliability for relaxed outdoor evenings
Decorating ideas
Paved‑path border – Line a narrow path with a ribbon of ASTERIA™ and low chives for pink‑and‑purple edging – ideal for neat, low‑maintenance front gardens.
Balcony jewel box – Plant one rose in a 40–50 litre tub with trailing thyme spilling over the rim – perfect for compact urban balconies.
Cottage trio – Group three plants with Balkan catchfly and hare’s‑ear in a small bed – suited to romantic rural cottage styles.
Family patio frame – Use a row around a sitting area, with dwarf lavender behind for scent – good for busy families who want colour with little fuss.
Mini rose island – Create a tiny island bed of five ASTERIA™ plants in lawn – attractive for beginners wanting an easy focal point.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
