The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a floribunda rose plant named `JACrepin`, which was originated by me by crossing the variety `JACimpac` (not patented, seed parent), with the variety `JACtorse` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,129, pollen parent). The parentage of the seed parent is `JACdew` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,122).times.`HARrooney` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,582)....Observations made from January 2005 to October 2007 from plants that were three years of age at the end of the observation period and that were growing in a garden environment at Somis, Calif.

Parentage:

seed:	Impatient × Amber Queen ® (floribunda, Harkness before 1981)
pollen:	Miss Behavin'™

Notes:

While the registration with the American Rose Society lists the parentage as a cross of two seedlings, the patent lists the specific cross

Ludwig Taschner (South Africa) reports that this rose is know as 'Affies Rose' in SA.
