Abstract
A new and distinctive rose of the Floribunda Class is provided which resulted as a sport of the Meigandor variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,520). The new variety forms highly attractive double blossoms which differ in coloration from those of the parent variety. More specifically, the buds of the new variety are of a deep orange-gold coloration and the flowers are of a medium yellow coloration. Additionally, the buds of the new variety are more tapered in contrast to the more squared bud shape of the parent, and the stems tend to be of a larger caliper and of a greater length than those of the parent. The new variety is well adapted to forcing in greenhouses to yield an abundance of well-formed long lasting blossoms.
