Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which abundantly forms attractive very double bicolored blossoms that are variegated orange on the upper surface and yellow on the under surface. The plant exhibits an erect growth habit, very rigid stems, dense semi-glossy decorative dark green foliage, and good resistance to Powdery Mildew and Botrytis. The attractive dark green foliage contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. The new variety is particularly well suited for cut flower production under standard greenhouse growing conditions.
