Abstract

A new and distinct Floribunda rose plant is provided that forms abundantly and substantially continuously attractive cup-shaped semi-double blossoms that are orange suffused with pink and yellow in coloration. The growth habit is compact and bushy. Vigorous vegetation is formed. Such vegetation is ornamental dark green and bears a glossy aspect on the upper surface. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens. The plant can be grown well in containers in view of its compact character, grows well on its own roots, and is well suited for growing in the relatively dry climate of the west coast of the United States. The blossoms commonly are displayed from spring to the time of frost.
