Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which abundantly forms in clusters on a nearly continuous basis attractive very double bright Lemon Yellow blossoms that well retain their coloration upon maturity. The growth habit is narrow bushy. Very dense dark green semi-glossy foliage is formed that contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. Plants of the new variety develop well following budding and following the rooting of cuttings. The new variety is well suited for pot forcing under greenhouse growing conditions to form a distinctive gift plant. Very good tolerance to Oidium Botrytis is displayed.
