Shrub rose plant named `Ausmum`

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose shrub plant which was originated by me by crossing the variety Graham Thomas, not patented, with the variety Abraham Darby, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,215.

#The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new shrub rose variety having golden yellow and apricot colored old-fashioned shaped flowers, with repeat flowering and disease resistance. The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

#1. The inside of the petals is copper colored and the outside is a paler copper-yellow.

#The accompanying illustration 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.
