Mauve™ Pixie® BOZivko – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root propagation material
With its compact, spreading habit and dense foliage, Mauve™ Pixie® BOZivko offers coverage and visual impact that suit high‑density nursery beds and container lines geared to project mass planting. Its velvety wine‑red, cup‑shaped, cluster‑flowered blooms provide season‑long colour for border, front‑bed, balcony and terrace schemes, supporting uniform, dense, bush‑trained finished products in 1.5–2 L containers and larger landscape formats. Own‑root production delivers long‑term stability, regenerative longevity and predictable, homogeneous stands with low replacement needs, helping You plan capacity for public‑realm and institutional projects where continuity matters. The cultivar’s resistant foliage and low‑intervention character underpin reliability in nursery networks that must serve varied UK conditions, including cooler northern sites with strong winter and wind exposure, while flexible tray‑rooted supply simplifies storage, scheduling and integration into existing workflows. Developed for scalable project‑driven propagation, Mauve™ Pixie® BOZivko aligns with thematic and collection‑style rose gardens, where consistent identity and repeat‑flowering ornamental value support three‑year development from rooting to full landscape performance.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Groundcover shrub in the Pixie® collection; registered as BOZivko, marketed as Mauve™ Pixie® BOZivko; commercial type groundcover rose for professional, project‑oriented applications. |

| Awards and recognition |
not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, spreading habit reaching about 25–45 cm height and 50–90 cm spread; dense, slightly glossy mid‑green foliage with slight prickliness; suited to tight spacing and groundcover roles. |
| Flower morphology |
Double, cup‑shaped flowers with 26–39 petals; medium size blooms borne in clusters; repeat‑flowering with an abundant second flush, providing sustained seasonal colour in managed plantings. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Velvety wine‑red flowers, deep carmine when newly open; tones shift towards mahogany‑chestnut with creamy highlights yet overall colour retention is good under sun, giving stable ornamental presentation. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, restrained scent with a soft, silky character; double form limits pollinator access, making the cultivar primarily ornamental rather than pollinator‑supporting in professional project schemes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rosehip set generally sparse due to double flowers; where present, small spherical orange‑red hips about 6–11 mm in diameter, usually of minor visual relevance in mass plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); moderate drought tolerance, requires regular watering in dry spells. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for borders, front beds, containers, balconies and terraces; low maintenance with generally little intervention needed; ideal for project mass planting as a uniform, dense, bush‑trained finished product. |
Mauve™ Pixie® BOZivko combines compact, spreading groundcover habit, disease‑resistant foliage and hardiness with predictable, long‑lived own‑root performance, making it a reliable candidate for volume project programmes where it is worth aligning capacity and scheduling in advance.
