The wavy petals have subtle lilac nuances and pinkish-purple veins, giving each flower a refined appearance. Her fragrance combines the classic perfume of old roses with fruity notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis historic rose is attributed to the French rose breeder Jacques-Louis Descemet and dates from around 1815. It was named after Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napoleon's first wife and a renowned rose enthusiast. In the gardens of her Malmaison estate, she collected roses and encouraged interest in these remarkable plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe historical value of Empress Joséphine therefore lies both in her age and in her name. She recalls a period when French growers were developing many new roses and collecting roses was becoming increasingly popular. With this variety, you keep more than two centuries of rose history alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shrub grows bushily, with plenty of grey-green foliage and relatively few thorns.
