Shrub rose plant named `Meichonar`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms continuously throughout the season attractive long-lasting White blossoms that are more or less edged with Venetian Pink. The new variety grows well on its own roots and forms relatively few thorns (as illustrated). The plant possesses a bushy growth habit. Also, the new variety exhibits very good disease resistance, as is well suited for use as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
