Mini-flora rose plant named ‘Meiptipier’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Mini-Flora Class is provided which abundantly forms attractive double bicolored blossoms that are deep rosy pink on the inner petals and pale ivory pink on the outer petals. The buds are globose in configuration and are borne on stems having relatively few thorns. An open vase-shaped growth habit is exhibited. The foliage is matte medium to dark green and contrasts nicely with the bicolored pink blossoms. The new variety is well suited for the production of cut flowers under greenhouse growing conditions.
