Floribunda rose plant named ‘JAJchel’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of medium sized floribunda rose with excellent heat tolerance and strong disease resistance. This rose prolifically produces double to very double, long lasting flowers, throughout the growing season. The flower buds are creamy white and open to form a white flower. Then the petals curve backwards to create a flower with round “cotton ball” like form that is framed in medium green foliage that matures to semi-glossy dark green. This rose exhibits a low, spreading and moderate growth habit that is well suited to providing attractive minimal care and low maintenance ornamentation to the homeowner with a small landscape.

I claim:
