Floribunda rose plant named `Flower Carpet Red`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Floribunda rose plant is provided which forms continuously throughout the season attractive long-lasting light to medium red blossoms. The blossoms open on a reliable basis and well retain their attractiveness upon aging. The new variety exhibits a low, upright, and dense growth habit that renders it well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape. The foliage is dark green and glossy and contrasts well with the light to medium red blossoms. The new variety propagates well from cuttings, by the budding of an eye, and by grafting. Excellent resistance to blackspot, mildew, and rust are exhibited.
