In Pikmin: New World
Rose Pikmin are the third Pikmin species discovered in Pikmin: New World, being found in Hot Tar Pools, underground, chasing a group of Pitchbugs near their Onion. They have a black mustache and beard, features setting them apart from other Pikmin, and a rose-colored body, as their name suggests. Although they have an Onion of their own, more Rose Pikmin can be made using Salmon Candypop Buds.

Rose Pikmin are extremely useful because of their great attack power and defense and because they are less likely to be crushed, buried, or blown up. Their resistance to explosions makes them very useful against enemies such Gatling Groinks, Careening Dirigibugs, Blastering Blurtles, and Boomy Blowhogs. Their main use is their resistance to hot tar, a hazard that is deadly to all other Pikmin, which they can walk through much like Blue Pikmin can water. Because of this, Rose Pikmin are essential for caves that contain tar. They can destroy tar quite quickly to allow safe passage for other Pikmin. However, because tar can be set ablaze by sources of fire, which Rose Pikmin are not resistant to, Red Pikmin must be used to destroy any nearby fire geysers and consequently the flames covering the tar. Enemies that use tar can have their tar set ablaze in much the same way, necessitating using Red Pikmin and Rose Pikmin in conjunction.

The Rose Onion is far smaller than other Onions, and because of this, it can only store up to thirty Rose Pikmin at a time. Any more Rose Pikmin beyond the maximum will be able to stay until sundown but will inevitably die when night falls because their Onion can not accept them. The trouble of raising a sizeable Rose Pikmin population is made worth the effort because of their usefulness.

In Pikmin: The Pollution
Rose Pikmin appear in Pikmin: The Pollution as the last Pikmin species to be discovered. They are encountered in Flowery Fields, the second-to-last area. Rose Pikmin have light pink skin, and a rose at the tip of their stem. They can heal other Pikmin with the honey they produce from their rose, making them one of the most useful in the game and making zero-death runs easier, but also have a very low attack power, weaker than that of leaders. However, they do have high health.

Kuutti85's version
Rose Pikmin have much lighter feet and reddish cheeks, as well as an extremely fast running speed to outrun predators and tire them out, as well as running up walls to wall-jump off of them. They're very prone to slipping, though.
