I think this should be listed as a Floribunda rather than Hybrid Tea. The references and comments describe it as such.

You are right, it seems that the ARS class is incorrect

All the ARS publications of which I am aware say 'Passionate Kisses' is a floribunda.

The US patent application (12/923,828) was abandoned 12/26/2013. The application lists Alain A. Meilland as the inventor. The application, and all current ARS publications of which I am aware, say the rose is a floribunda.

According to US Plant Patent 6,199 (Minwco), the pollen parent is Black Jack ((US Plant Patent 5,671), not Black Jade.

The variety is covered by US Plant Patent 34553. The patent uses the variety name 'Vanilla Vixen.' However, the name was changed before the rose was introduced . 'Vanilla Vixen' was never used in commerce. The variety just received an American Garden Rose Selection (AGRS) for the north central, northwest, and southwest regions.
