Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Hybrid Tea Class is provided which abundantly forms on a nearly continuous basis attractive yellow blossoms that are margined and suffused with red. The growth habit is erect. Attractive dense dark green and glossy foliage is formed that contrasts nicely with the blossoms coloration. Tolerance to disease is good particularly with respect to Oidium and Botrytis. The new variety forces well under greenhouse growing conditions and is well suited for cut flower production under such conditions.
