Abstract

A new and distinct variety of landscape shrub rose plant is provided which forms heavily in June in clusters and recurrently thereafter attractive fully double deep red blossoms that are blended with lighter shades creating an orange tone near the petal edge. The plant exhibits a compact upright rounded growth habit when grown in a cooler climate and a climbing growth habit when grown in a warmer climate. The attractive medium green glossy foliage contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. The new foliage is tinted with red-purple coloration and the adult foliage is satiny medium green. High tolerance to Black Spot and Powdery Mildew is displayed. The plant can be grown to advantage to provide attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
