'Hortense de Beauharnais' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

We do not have ANY photos of this Rose!

Notes:

Hortense de Beauharnais, daughter of the Empress Josephine, was born April 10, 1783 and died October 5, 1837. In 1802, she became the wife of Louis Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon and king of Holland from 1806-10. They had three sons before they separated in 1810. It's been suggested that the father of the third son, Napoleon III, was someone other than Louis. Hortense had a fourth child illegitimately, the Duc de Mornay (1811-65) who served Napoleon III as an advisor.
