To launch the fes­ti­vi­ties of the 700th anni­ver­sa­ry of the birth of Charles IV, King of Bohe­mia and Emper­or of the Ger­ma­nic Empire (1316–1378), Lët­ze­buer­ger Rou­se­frënn dedi­ca­ted a pret­ty rose to this illus­trious figu­re from the house of Luxem­bourg. Charles IV, son of Jean of Luxem­bourg, King of Bohe­mia, is con­side­red to be one of the gre­at dynastic figu­res of the Midd­le Ages.
‘Emper­eur Charles IV’ is an excep­tio­nal shrub rose that recalls the charm of Eng­lish roses. Its inten­se pur­ple red cup-shaped flowers exu­de a won­derful fra­grance of myrrh and lily of the val­ley. This rose­bush is repeat flowe­ring, with healt­hy foliage.
