Rose plant -- Meidomonac variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of free-branching low growing shrub rose plant is provided having attractive very double flowers which are of a Neyron pink coloration. The new variety resulted from the crossing of an unnamed seedling resulting from the cross of Rosa sempervirens and the Mlle. Marthe Carron variety with pollen from the Picasso variety. The new variety is extremely hardy, exceptionally vigorous, and exhibits outstanding disease resistance which renders it well adapted for landscape uses.

I claim:
