Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Shrub rose plant is provided that forms in clusters in abundance on a substantially continuous basis attractive double medium pink cup-shaped blossoms that clean well upon full maturity. The buds are rounded to bluntly pointed in shape. A vigorous spreading ground cover growth habit is displayed. The disease resistance is excellent with respect to Black Spot, Powdery Mildew, and Rust. The plant develops well regardless of the mode of asexual propagation. The plant is particularly well suited for growing in small areas as a ground cover, as a mass planting, and in containers where attractive ornamentation is desired.
