Abstract
A new shrub rose plant which has abundant, white flowers which are present on the plant continually throughout the growing season. Its low spreading habit and very glossy, disease resistant foliage demand limited maintenance, making it ideal for use in landscapes. The variety is suitable for propagation on its own roots, as well as, a traditionally budded plant. This new and distinct variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
