The role played by Empress Joséphine in the development of modern roses is at the heart of a new exhibition of rare rose books at THE HUNTINGTON in San Marino, CA through April 28, 2008 in the Boone Gallery.
“La Rose Impériale: The Development of Modern Roses” will showcase 110 rare illustrated herbals and rose books, including a first edition of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s glorious multivolume work, Les Roses (1817-24). The exhibition is the anchor of a yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Rose Garden at The Huntington.
