The Imperial Order of the Rose [Ordem Imperial da Rosa] was instituted by Emperor Dom Pedro I (1798-1834, Emperor of Brazil from 1831) who established the seven-class (Collar, Grand Cross, Grand Dignitaries, Dignitaries, Commander, Officers and Knights) order for civil and military merit on October 17, 1829, on occasion of his wedding with his second wife Princess Amélie von Leuchtenberg (1812-1873), fourth daughter of Eugène-Rose de Beauharnais, Herzog von Leuchtenberg and Fürst von Eichstätt (1781-1824) and Auguste Princess of Bavaria (1788-1851). After the abdication of Pedro I in 1831 in favour of his son Pedro II (1825-1891, reigned from 1831/1840 until 1889), during the regency until 1840, the order was not conferred. After the coronation of Pedro II on July 28, 1841, the order was again to be conferred, until 1889, when Pedro II was forced to abdicate. With the foundation of the Republic of Brazil the order ceeded to exist.
