EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the Monthly Rose, Rosa chinensis var. semperflorens, also known as the Austrian Briar, Lutea, or Punicea rose. The image is derived from an illustration by Desire Bois for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Monthly Rose is a charming and prolific variety of the Chinese Rose, renowned for its continuous blooming throughout the growing season. Its velvety, dark red flowers, with their distinctive golden eyes, appear monthly, hence the name. The plant's bushy growth habit and abundant blooms make it a popular choice for Victorian gardens and greenhouses. The intricate details of the rose's petals, leaves, and stems are beautifully rendered in this chromolithograph, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the illustration and the printing process. The delicate shading and vibrant colors bring the flower to life, inviting the viewer to appreciate its timeless beauty. Desire Bois, the talented botanical illustrator, captured the essence of this beloved rose variety, immortalizing it in this stunning work of art. Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" was a popular publication during the Victorian era, providing inspiration and knowledge for avid gardeners and horticulturists. Today, this chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the Monthly Rose and the art of botanical illustration.
