Abstract
A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which abundantly forms attractive double lavender blossoms on a substantially continuous basis. The blossoms tend to be borne above the foliage where they are clearly visible. A dense, narrow and bushy growth habit is exhibited that renders the plant well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape. The buds are conical in configuration and are elegantly shaped. The foliage is dark green and contrasts nicely with the lavender blossoms.
