Classic blooms on a hardy, healthy shrub. Blooms repeatedly throughout the season.
Leaves are large, leathery, and fairly disease resistant.
Habit is slightly spreading and bushy. Flowers are creamy light pink, almost a blush and have 65 to 75 petals. Make no mistake, this rose will out-bloom many of the newer roses, including many Hybrid Teas. Chateau at La Malmaison 'Souvenir de La Malmaison' is named in tribute to Empress Josephine's garden at her chateau, Malmaison, located outside of Paris near Versailles. Her garden attracted many visitors who left with a new understanding of the great diversity of roses and the possibilities these plants for the landscape.
