A new rose variety is disclosed having very deep-yellow buds that are resistant to color change as the bud opens. Open-flower color is also deep yellow. The flowers are borne either singly or in clusters of up to about 3-7 blooms. The plant has an upright growth habit and dark green, leathery, glossy foliage. The new variety was created by crossing the variety Meigronuri (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,625) with the variety Tansenfrie.
A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Floribunda class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of its very deep yellow formed buds and the buds' resistance to fading as the flower opens, by its upright habit of growth, its well-formed flower clusters and single flowers, and its dark green leathery foliage.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Floribunda class which was originated by me by crossing the variety Meigronuri, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,625, with the variety Tansenfrie.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the deep-yellow flowers and disease resistance of Meigronuri combined with the taller, more upright habit and smaller bloom-cluster size of Tansenfrie. This objective was substantially achieved along with other desirable improvements as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Very deep-yellow bud and open flower that is resistant to color change;
The accompanying color photograph shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color descriptions using terminology in accordance with the Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
