Purple - red. Or pink shaded purple. Large, double (17-25 petals) bloom form. Once-blooming spring or summer.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
'Napoléon', 'Souvenir de Français' might be distinct roses. The date of 1790 for the rose as in one of the references is improbable, as 'Napoléon' was not an important personnage before 1798.
Napoléon was born on 15 August 1769 in Corsica. He was crowned Emperor on 18 May 1804 and died on 5 May 1821 on St. Helena. Name changed to 'Grande Alexandre' after 1815.
