Abstract
A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which forms abundantly and continuously attractive long lasting very double blossoms. The new variety is a spontaneous mutation of the Meilarco variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,170). The blossoms of the new variety while similar in shape to those of the Meilarco variety possess a distinctive white coloration which sometimes turns yellowish toward the center when fully open instead of the pastel romantic pink coloration of the parent variety. The plant is bushy, forms dark green glossy foliage, and forms very vigorous vegetation. Additionally, the plant is not particularly affected by cryptogamic diseases.
