The new variety of Rosa hybrida Hybrid Tea rose plant was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the `Noacas` variety (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was an unnamed and unreleased seedling (non-patented in the United States).
....The rose plants of the new variety were approximately two years of age and were observed during June while growing outdoors on their own roots at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France.
