Abstract
A rose-plant of the Floribunda Class is provided having double flowers which are of orpiment color on the inside and yellow on the outside. The seed parent of the new variety was obtained by the crossing of the variety Sweet Promise (known in the United States as Sonia) and the variety Golden garnette. The pollen parent of the new variety resulted from the crossing of the variety Meialfi and the variety Meifan to form a first plant which was crossed with the variety King's ransom to form a second plant which in turn was crossed with the variety Whisky mac.
