Empress Josephine
Gallica old garden shrub rose prior to 1815

The large, very double deep
clear pink blooms have a
fantastic old rose fragrance.

Deep green foliage on strong
canes that bare small brownish
thorns are of good disease
resistance.
Plant can grow about 4.5 ' and
wide.
This is one of my favorite winter
hardy shrub roses of all and
deserves to be in every garden

reliably winter hardy to zone 4.
