Inventors: Meilland; Alain Antoine (Antibes, FR)
The new variety of Rosa hybrida Creeping rose plant of the present invention was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., seed parent) of the new variety was the product of the cross of the `Meijeunom` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,143) and the `Meiglise` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,960). The male parent (i.e., pollen parent) was the `Meibalneo` variety (non-patented in the United States)....The description is based on the observation of two-year-old specimens of the new variety during July while budded on their own roots and growing outdoors at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France.
