Empress Josephine grew roses at her famous Chateau Malmaison. She amassed the most complete collection of roses in the world until her death in 1814. The rose ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison’ – a light pink Bourbon rose – was introduced in 1843 by the horticulturalist Jean Beluze. Silky pastel roses, light green orchids, and the magnificent ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison’ with a fluffy pink feather on top reminds us of fashion in early 19th century inspired by Empress Josephine’s exquisite taste.
This French Style floral composition looks great in Spring and Summer. It looks especially lavish on celebration days such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, Birthday, and Mother’s Day.
Depending on the size you prefer we will select an appropriate vase.
In some instances, our photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated.
Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers and/or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you’ve selected, we will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal value or higher value.
If any design elements are of major importance to your order, please include them in the florist instructions at checkout or contact us to ensure availability.
