Abstract

A new and distinct variety of landscape shrub rose plant is provided which abundantly forms on a substantially continuous basis in clusters attractive double deep pink blossoms with a white eye. As the Blossoms mature, they fade to an attractive range of pale pink to hot pink. The blossoms also display a slight sweet rose fragrance. The plant exhibits a small, dense compact and bushy growth habit, attractive semi-glossy medium green foliage, and good tolerance to Black Spot and Powdery Mildew. The attractive medium green semi-glossy foliage contrasts nicely with the deep pink blossom coloration. The new variety is particularly well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens. The plant performs well in front of a border, as a low hedge, or in a container.
