Abstract
A new and distinct variety of ground cover rose plant is provided which forms substantially continuously throughout the season long-lasting bright velvet red blossoms. The blossoms tend to open on a reliable basis and remain attractive upon aging. The new variety exhibits a compact, spreading and overhanging growth habit that renders it suitable for growing as an ornamental ground cover in the landscape and home garden. The foliage is glossy and contrasts well with the bright velvet red blossoms. The reproductive organs and pollen provide a 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.
