Hybrid Tea rose plant named `Meiqualis`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which abundantly forms attractive bright double long-lasting dark velvet-red blossoms. The foliage is dark green and glossy and contrasts well with the blossom coloration. Long erect stems are formed that infrequently bear thorns. The new variety is particularly suited for cut-flower production under greenhouse growing conditions. Additionally, the new plant exhibits very good disease resistance.

I claim:
