Coral™ Pixie® BOZcorapix – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root propagation material
Groundcover production of Coral™ Pixie® BOZcorapix offers professional growers a compact, spreading option with dense foliage and small, semi-double, dark-red flowers suited to uniform coverage in beds, borders and containers. Its confirmed hardiness to H7 and Swedish Zone 4 supports reliable scheduling for nurseries supplying UK projects where cold, exposed sites are common, while its documented resistance to key rose diseases reduces intervention in high-volume project mass planting. As tray-rooted, 3–6‑month‑old own-root cuttings, pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material integrates efficiently into container lines aimed at 1.5–2 L finished stock and uniform, bush-trained release forms, allowing You to plan predictable capacity across nursery networks. Own-root architecture underpins long-term stability and regeneration under repeated cutting and maintenance loads, supporting homogeneous stands, low replacement and consistent project delivery; in practice the crop builds roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, and full ornamental value from year three onwards. Coral™ Pixie® aligns with thematic and collection-style plantings where cultivar identity and dark coral-red colour tone are important, and it can be scaled as a private-label portfolio component for project-serving wholesalers. The compact height and spreading habit suit dense spacing for landscape planting schemes, while own-root longevity reinforces the sustainability profile increasingly required in public-realm and institutional contracts that demand coherent, reliable ground-cover rose ranges.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Spreading ground-cover habit, approximately 35–60 cm high with 40–75 cm spread; dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny stems, self-cleaning intensity and behaviour not provided. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double cups with 13–25 petals and slightly ruffled edges; small S-size flowers (about 0.5–1.5 in) produced in clusters; strongly remontant with a second flowering flush that is also abundant. |

Deep dark-red with coral shimmer; buds dark burgundy, opening to coral red then dark coral red, fading with pale pink edges; RHS 60A outer, 60B inner; good colour retention with moderate overall fading described. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak overall, only barely noticeable, with a light, fruity character mentioned; semi-double flowers moderately attract pollinators due to partial stamen coverage and reduced accessibility. |
| Hip characteristics |
Moderately abundant, spherical hips, around 5–8 mm diameter, coloured orange-red; hips add discrete seasonal interest without dominating plant appearance, suitable for ground-cover and project plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness given as –26 to –23 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4 and USDA Zone 5b; heat and drought tolerance data not provided. |
