'KORtekcho' was the resultant seedling from a cross between the seed parent 'AUSham' and an unnamed seedling in 2003 and was first selected in May 2004 at the breeding facility of W. Kordes Sohne in Sparrieshoop, Germany. The seedling was selected in July 2004 and was budded onto Rosa canina planted in the open field. Follow up selections took place in 2005 and subsequent years until its commercial release in October 2013. All processes were conducted by or under the supervision of Tim Hermann Kordes.

Floribunda rose plant named `KORtekcho
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 2003. The crossing was between an un-named seedling, the seed parent, and another un-named seedling, the pollen parent by the same inventor.
