Lucian families, including the late Mme. Darlas Delomel and M. Raphael being in France many years after, was induced to pay a visit to Malmaison on the strength of his former acquaintance, and met with a gracious reception from the Empress-Queen Dowager. Henry Breen also received confirmation from Josephine's former slave nanny called "Dede", who claimed she nursed Josephine at La Cauzette.
Josephine's baptism was administered by Pere Emmanuel Capuchin at Trois-Ilets but he has only stated she had been baptized there but not born. Josephine's father owned an estate in Soufriere Quarter called Malmaison, the name of her now famous French residence.

Josephine took a personal interest in the gardens and the roses, and learned a great deal about botany and horticulture from her staff. Josephine wanted to collect all known roses so Napoleon ordered his warship commanders to search all seized vessels for plants to be forwarded to Malmaison. Les Roses was published —20 with plates of roses; 75—80 of the roses grew at Malmaison. The English nurseryman Kennedy was a major supplier, despite England and France being at war, his shipments were allowed to cross blockades.
The general assumption is that she had about roses in her garden when she died in Unfortunately the roses were not catalogued during her tenure. There were 12 species, about 40 centifolias, mosses and damasks, 20 Bengals, and about gallicas. With controlled pollination, the appearance of new cultivars grew exponentially.
