Abstract

A new and distinct Groundcover rose plant is provided which commonly forms clusters on a tardive basis attractive white double blossoms with excellent reblooming during the summer. The growth habit is low and mounding. The plant exhibits strong vegetation and attractive very dense dark green foliage with a semi-glossy aspect. The tolerance to disease is good particularly with respect to Marsonia. The attractive dark green foliage contrasts nicely with the white blossom coloration. The new variety is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
