I claim:

A new and distinct variety rose plant of the floribunda class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of good growing and flower producing habits, abundant glossy green foliage, medium size flowers which are borne on strong stems of medium length, mostly in clusters, good flower form, good flower fragrance, better than average disease resistance, particularly with respect to mildew and blackspot, and attractive color tonality of the flowers corresponding to Spinel, Venetian and Rose Pink.
