Abstract
This new rose plant is of an upright and spreading growing habit. It bears fragrant pink flowers with hybrid tea form, singly and in loose sprays. These flowers are slow to open and long lasting on the plant, making it an excellent decoration in the garden. They last very well as cut flowers, and lend their fragrant perfume to their surroundings.
