Abstract
A new and distinct variety of ground cover rose plant is provided which forms attractive soft light yellow blossoms. The new variety exhibits a compact growth habit that renders it suitable for growing as an ornamental ground cover in the landscape. The foliage is glossy and contrasts well with the light yellow blossoms. The reproductive organs and pollen provide a darker bright yellow coloration at the center of each fully open blossom. The petals drop off cleanly as the blossoms mature. The new variety propagates well from cuttings and by budding and exhibits an excellent resistance to blackspot, mildew, and rust.
