Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided that abundantly forms attractive double flowers that are bicolored orange veined with yellow in coloration. The buds are very long and are slow opening. Such flowers exhibit a good vase life and possess petals that detach cleanly. The plant exhibits a narrow bushy growth habit, forms semi-vigorous vegetation, and is particularly well suited for greenhouse forcing for cut flower production. Additionally, the plant is resistant to diseases when grown under greenhouse conditions.
