A new and distinct variety of landscape shrub rose plant is provided which
forms in abundance on a substantially continuous basis attractive
red-purple blossoms commonly bearing approximately 13 to 15 petals. The
new variety is a spontaneous mutation of unknown causation of the
`Radrazz` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,836) that forms vivid red
blossoms which commonly display approximately 10 petals. The vegetation
is vigorous and the growth habit is bushy and rounded. The foliage is
very ornamental, dark green, and semi-glossy and contrasts nicely with
the red-purple blossom coloration. Excellent resistance to blackspot is
displayed. The new plant is particularly well suited for pot forcing
under greenhouse growing conditions to form an attractive gift plant.
