Rose plant--Meirutral variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Miniature rose plant is provided which abundantly forms on a continuous basis attractive long lasting semi-double blossoms. The blossoms are currant red in coloration and well retain this coloration upon the passage of time. The new variety is well adapted to greenhouse forcing under low light conditions and can be used as an attractive pot plant for indoor or outdoor decoration.
