The new variety of rose plant of the present invention originated from a controlled crossing in a breeding program of two distinct parents during the summer of 2002. The crossing was between an ‘un-named seedling’, the seed parent, and another ‘un-named seedling’, the pollen parent from the same inventor.

Parentage:

Unnamed Seedling × Unnamed Seedling
