Miniature rose plant named `Meikanrou`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which abundantly forms attractive dark red blossoms that are highly stable with respect to coloration. The plant is bushy, and forms dense medium-green semi-glossy vegetation. The blossoms possess no fragrance. The plant is well adapted to pot forcing under greenhouse growing conditions, and grows well on its own roots. An excellent ovoid commercial bud form is exhibited. The plant is particularly well-suited for use as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
