The new variety of landscape shrub rose plant of the present invention was created by artificial pollination carried out in April/May 2008 at Bakersfield, Calif., U.S.A., wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. Each parent possessed a complex parentage as indicated hereafter. More specifically, the parentage of the female parent (i.e., seed parent) can be summarized as follows: <{`MORtoday`.times.[`Geisha`.times.(`KINbo`.times.`Macivy`)]}.times.(`- WEKblusi`.times.`SCRivluv`)>.times.mixed Hulthemia pollen.
