Shrub rose plant named ‘Poultc005’

#Botanical classification: Rosa hybrid.

#Variety denomination: ‘Poultc005’.

#The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of garden rose plant that originated from a controlled crossing between the female parent plant, an unnamed seedling, and the male pollen parent plant, an unnamed seedling. The two parents were crossed during the summer of 1997 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety is named ‘Poultc005’.

#The accompanying color illustration shows as true as is reasonably possible to obtain in color photographs of this type, the typical characteristics of the buds, flowers, leaves, and stems, of ‘Poultc005’. Specifically illustrated in the drawings are:

#FIG. 1.1; Cluster of open flowers showing the attachment of leaves, buds, and receptacle;

#FIG. 1.2; Mature leaves;

#The following is a description of ‘Poultc005’, as observed in its growth in a field nursery in Jackson County, Oreg. Observed plants are 3 years of age, grown on Rosa multiflora understock. Color references are made using The Royal Horticultural Society (London, England) Colour Chart, 1995, except where common terms of color are used.

#For a comparison, several physical characteristics of the rose variety ‘Poulor’, a rose variety from the same inventors described and illustrated in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,511 dated Apr. 2, 2002, are compared to ‘Poultc005’ in Chart 1.
