Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Shrub Rose plant is provided having attractive long-lasting double flowers which are Cardinal Red suffused with Neyron Rose in coloration. The new variety resulted as a spontaneous mutation of unknown causation of the Meidomonac variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,105). The new variety can be readily distinguished from the parent variety in view of its distinctive blossom coloration. The growth habit and the color and texture of the foliage are substantially identical to those of the parent variety. However, the overall plant size, the bloom size, and the foliage size of the new variety tend to be slightly larger than those of the parent variety under the same growing conditions. Commonly, the new variety forms attractive blossoms (as described) on a very abundant and continuous basis, forms vigorous vegetation, is not particularly affected by cryptogamic diseases, and exhibits excellent resistance to frost. The new variety particularly is suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
