This lovely old scented Bourbon rose is quite famous being named
for Empress Josephine's home in Paris. One of the first
to bloom in early spring in our climate, it tends to ball in
wet weather, but as she produces numerous buds, one can be lucky
and have unspoiled blooms occasionally. From 1843.
I also have "Souvenir de St. Anne's" a sport from S.d.l.Malmaison
and the sport has no problems with the wet weather.
