The present discovery constitutes a new and distinct variety of a Hybrid Tea rose plant which was discovered in a cultivated area. The mutation resulted from `POULrim`, a Hybrid Tea rose hybridized by the same inventors. `POULrim` is described and illustrated in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/277,236, dated Mar. 26, 1999. The new rose variety resulted from a naturally occurring mutation of unknown causation on a branch of `POULrim`.

The rose plant of the present discovery has a unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from the original rose `POULrim` as well as all other varieties which we are aware of. For example, the new variety has: 1. Abundant, striking orange flowers; 2. Above average disease resistance; 3. Repeat blooming; 4. Vigorous, dark glossy green foliage; and 5. Perfumed rose scent.
Notes:
New from Poulsen Roser ApS for 2000/2001, is the flaming orange Grenadine™ (POUlgrena, 'Dr. Ingrid™').
