A radiation-induced mutation of Radtkopink (Pink Double Knock Out) The new variety of Rosa hybrida rose plant was derived from the ‘Radtkopink’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,507) through the use of induced mutagenesis followed by selection. More specifically, during September 2005 tissue cultured shoots of the ‘Radtkopink’ variety were subjected to gamma irradiation to form a population of plants which included various mutants. These plants were thereafter grown in a greenhouse at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A., and were carefully evaluated. A single plant of the present invention was selected during June 2006 from among the resulting plants primarily in view of its distinctive light pink blossom coloration combined with other attractive traits.
