An upright to spreading rose plant of the hybrid miniature class, having a
more-than-average resistance to mildew and rust, and producing an
abundance of large, well-formed buds and flowers of a bicolor orange
coloration, the darker color being carried on the outside surface of the
petals, rather than on the inside surface as is usual among bicolor roses.
Bloom production is nearly continuous throughout the growing season. The
plant bears attractive, semi-glossy foliage which is relatively large for
the class and bears very few prickles on its canes and stems.
