A new and distinct Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided that forms abundantly and substantially continuously attractive very double well-configured luminous light pink blossoms which display a strong fragrance. The growth habit is bushy, and very strong vegetation is formed.

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.
