"DESCRIPTION
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of compact floribunda rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between an unnamed seedling and `RUImired`, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,770. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named `POULpear`.

The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an unnamed seedling created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics:

1. `POULpear` is a compact floribunda with pale orange colored flowers and the unnamed seedling is a grandiflora with bright orange flowers.

2. The unnamed seedling resulted from a crossing of `POULetta` and `Amber Queen`.

The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, `RUImired`, by the following combination of characteristics:

1. `POULpear` is a compact floribunda with pale orange colored flowers whereas `RUImired` is miniature rose with orange-red flowers.

2. The foliage and flowers of `POULpear` are larger than `RUImired`."
