Miniature rose plant named ‘BENdiez’

Abstract

‘BENdiez’ is a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant that grows two feet wide and tall with dark red flowers in proportion to the size of the foliage. Blooms are borne primarily singly, are good as cut flowers and ideal for exhibition. The color of the flowers fades very little, even though the petals become marcescent, so the plant constantly has the dark red flowers throughout the growing season. The dark green, semi-glossy foliage offers above average disease resistance in all areas of the mainland United States.

1. A new and distinct variety of hardy, miniature rose plant is claimed, substantially as illustrated and described, with miniature, exhibition, hybrid tea form flowers of a dark red, borne mostly singly, and with dark green, semi-glossy foliage having above average disease resistance, hardy at least to zone 5.
