Shrub rose plant named ‘Novarospop’

Abstract

A new and distinct shrub rose plant is provided that abundantly and substantially continuously forms in clusters attractive double cup-shaped blossoms that initially are yellow and change to cream-white with maturity. The plant exhibits vigorous vegetation and a bushy and rounded growth habit. The foliage is dark green with a glossy upper surface. The blossoms commonly display a very light sweet scent. Good disease resistance is displayed, particularly with respect to Black Spot, Powdery Mildew, and Rust, during observations to date. The plant is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape. It grows well as a ground cover, in mass plantings, and when present in a container.
