Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Floribunda Class is provided which abundantly forms on a nearly continuous basis attractive semi-double self-cleaning blossoms with reflexed yellow-orange petals that are strongly bordered in red. A very short time between bloom cycles is observed. The growth habit is vigorous, compact, and bushy. Dark green glossy foliage is formed in abundance that contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. Above average disease resistance, especially with respect to Black Spot is displayed. The blossoms possess a slight spice fragrance, and no hips have formed during observations to date. The new variety is well suited for providing distinctive ornamentation in the garden.
