 Bourbon
1843 Originally known as ‘Queen of Beauty and Fragrance’ this rose
received its present name when one of the Grand Dukes of Russia
obtained a specimen from the gardens at Malmaison for the Imperial
Garden in St. Petersburg. ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison’ produces large,
flat, quartered blossoms with petals of pale, almost flesh colored
pink, and a delightful fragrance. The compact bush rarely grows more
than three feet, seemingly spending all its energy on blooming rather
than growing.
3 to 4 feet Z6-9 R Fr lp
