Diamond Eyes – velvety purple mini rose for easy, dramatic edging
With its mesmerising white “eye” at the heart of deep purple blooms, Diamond Eyes is a compact miniature rose that gives your garden instant drama without demanding complex care. Ideal for Irish front gardens and small borders, it thrives even where rainfall is frequent and drainage needs a little attention. The naturally dwarf, rounded shape stays neat, so You can edge paths, patios or low hedges without constant clipping. Repeating flushes of flowers provide continuous colour through the season, while the rich, spicy fragrance is surprisingly strong for such a small plant. Dense, glossy foliage and sturdy, winter-hardy growth support a long-lived, own-root bush that can regenerate and remain attractive for many years. In a minimum 40–50 litre container or a small sunny bed, You plant this miniature once and enjoy a compact, reliable feature that matures from establishing roots to a full ornamental effect over its first three seasons.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden edging along paths or driveways
Low, uniform height and dense branching create a tidy ribbon of purple-and-white blooms that is easy to maintain and looks “finished” even in small Irish front gardens, ideal for the busy beginner
Statement patio container near doors or seating
Works beautifully in a 40–50 litre pot, where the compact habit and strong purple flowers stay in proportion to the container, giving a long-lasting, replant-free focal point for the urban homeowner
Small cottage-style beds around the home
The dramatic flower contrast and spicy scent fit perfectly with romantic cottage planting, forming a reliable, own-root shrub that settles in and keeps performing for the country gardener
Low hedge to define lawn edges or play areas
Regular spacing at 35 cm creates a low, clear boundary that remains manageable, with moderate thorns and compact growth making it practical near family spaces for the family-focused
Mixed border with perennials and herbs
Deep purple flowers and glossy dark green foliage contrast well with silver or blue companions like lavender or Echinops, anchoring the bed with season-long structure for the design-conscious
Urban balcony or small courtyard garden
Reliable flowering and compact size suit restricted spaces, while own-root resilience means the plant copes steadily with pots and changing conditions for the apartment gardener
Partial-shade side garden or north-east aspect
Tolerates some shade, still flowering well where many roses sulk, helping You green up those trickier, less-loved strips beside houses for the practical planner
Coastal or high-rainfall family plots
Hardy, medium-disease-resistance growth performs reliably in cool, damp, wind-exposed Irish sites where good drainage helps it shrug off constant wet weather for the coastal resident

Origin and breeding
Bred by Tom Carruth (United States, 2011) for Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc. Parentage: ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ × [(seedling × ‘Baby Love’) × ‘Night Owl’]. Introduced after 2015; US registration 2015 (PP26 202).
Awards and recognitions
American Rose Society Award of Excellence (2013), recognising performance and ornamental value within the miniature and patio rose category, especially in container and exhibition use under garden conditions.
Growth and structure
Dwarf, compact bush, 45–55 cm high and wide, with dense branching and glossy dark green foliage. Moderately thorny stems; naturally rounded habit suitable for edging, low hedges, containers and small-format garden spaces.
Flower morphology
Semi-double blooms with 13–25 petals, flat form and small flower size (0.5–1.5 in). Cluster-flowering habit gives multiple heads per stem, encouraging a strong visual effect from a low, compact plant even in small beds.
Colour and phenology
Velvety, dark purple to blackish-purple petals with a sharply defined cream-white central eye and yellow stamens. Colour lightens slightly in strong heat, deepens in cooler weather. Repeats well with abundant secondary flushes.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, spicy scent detectable from a distance for a miniature rose. Semi-double form means fragrance is noticeable near seating or paths, though pollinator attraction is moderate because stamens are partly concealed.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose-hip set usually slight; when present, small spherical hips, 6–8 mm in diameter, red (RHS 40A). Decorative effect is modest, with flowering performance remaining the main ornamental feature into late season.
Resistance and hardiness
Winter hardy to about −32 to −29 °C (USDA 4b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 5). Disease resistance medium against black spot, rust and powdery mildew; benefits from basic preventative care and regular watering during dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Ideal for containers, borders, edging, low hedges, specimens and urban spaces. Plant at 35–45 cm for hedges or massing; 75 cm as specimen. Suitable for partial shade; deadhead spent blooms and provide good drainage in heavy soils.
Diamond Eyes offers compact size, striking purple-and-white blooms and strong fragrance on a hardy, own-root plant that settles in for years of low-effort colour, so You can plant with confidence and decide calmly if it suits your garden.

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.
