The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of garden rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between an unnamed seedling and an unnamed seedling. The two parents were crossed in the summer of 1989.....The unnamed seedling is a tall growing floribunda with bright pink, semi-double flowers. The unnamed seedling is an offspring of EGESKOV, a light pink floribunda and Dolly, a dark pink floribunda. The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an unnamed seedling created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics: The pollen parent is a pink floribunda with double flowers and a low and compact habit. One of the parents of the seedling is Bella Rosa, a medium pink floribunda.

Parentage:

seed:	Egeskov ® × Dolly ® (floribunda, Poulsen, 1973)
pollen:	Bella Rosa ® (floribunda, Kordes 1981) × Unknown

Notes:

Pollen parent could also be Unknown X 'Bella Rosa' (see Members' comments).
