Abstract

A new and distinct Miniature rose plant is provided which abundantly forms in clusters attractive cup-shaped blossoms that are ochre in coloration. A compact, low and bushy growth habit is displayed. The plant is well adapted for forcing in pot culture. The rather dense semi-glossy green foliage contracts nicely with the ochre blossom coloration. The new variety tends to blossom very early and on a nearly continuous basis thereafter. The tolerance to diseases is good, particularly with respect to Oidium. The new variety is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape and when grown in pots.
