Ground cover rose plant named ‘NOA168098F’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety for Ground Cover Rose plant is provided which forms in sprays attractive long-lasting red-purple blossoms which are lacking in fragrance with yellow pollen and reproductive organs commonly being visible at the center and which commonly display very good heat resistance and color stability upon aging. The new variety exhibits a dense, compact, and spreading growth habit. The foliage is green and very glossy on the upper surface and contrasts well with the red-purple blossom coloration. The surfaces of leaves commonly are somewhat curled and partially closed. The blossom petals commonly detach cleanly upon full maturity. The plant propagates well from cuttings and by budding. Excellent resistance to Blackspot; Powdery Mildew, Downey Mildew, and Rust are displayed, and the plant is particularly well suited for growing as an ornamental ground cover in the landscape.
