The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the product of the cross of the ‘Kormax’ variety (non-patented in the United States) and the ‘Meinoiral’ variety (non-patented in the United States)....The rose plants of the new variety were approximately one and one-half year of age and were observed during June while growing outdoors on their own roots at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France.
