Abstract

A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms in abundance on a nearly continuous basis attractive double cup-like deep-coral-orange blossoms that self clean well. A spreading ground cover growth habit is displayed. The plant forms glossy medium-green foliage that contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. The plant develops well following asexual propagation. The resistance to Black Spot, Powdery Mildew, and Rust is excellent. The new variety is particularly well suited for providing ornamentation in small areas. It performs well as a mass planting and when grown in containers.
