Abstract

A new and distinct Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided that commonly commences blooming early in the season and forms abundantly and substantially continuously attractive ocher double blossoms which display a slight fragrance. The growth habit is semi-erect, and strong vegetation is formed. The vegetation is very dense and bears a glossy aspect on the upper surface that contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. The disease tolerance is very good particularly with respect to black spot. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
