Abstract

A new and distinct Floribunda rose plant is provided which forms attractive cream-white blossoms having five petals. The plant exhibits very strong vegetation, a semi-erect growth habit, and medium green foliage with a semi-glossy aspect. The disease tolerance is good particularly with respect to Marsonina rosae. The attractive green foliage contrasts nicely with the cream-white blossom coloration. The new variety is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
