EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Moss Rose, Rosa centifolia var. muscosa, a timeless beauty from the Victorian era. The intricately detailed illustration is the work of Desire Bois, as featured in Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Moss Rose, also known as the Hundred-Leaved Rose or the Baronne Rothschild Rose, is a captivating hybrid of Rosa centifolia, renowned for its perpetual blooming and velvety, fragrant petals. The mossy texture of its leaves adds an extra layer of allure to this already stunning flower. The illustration showcases the Moss Rose in its full glory, with its delicate, layered petals unfurling around a central cluster of velvety, dark-red buds. The intricate veining and delicate, translucent quality of the petals are beautifully rendered, capturing the essence of this beloved Victorian garden favorite. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing detailed, colorful prints during the Victorian era, is evident in the rich, vibrant hues and meticulous attention to detail in this illustration. The use of multiple plates and layers of ink allowed for a high degree of accuracy and depth, resulting in a stunning, lifelike representation of the Moss Rose. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Moss Rose and the art of botanical illustration during the Victorian era. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of nature, while also serving as a reminder of the rich horticultural history that continues to inspire and delight gardeners and flower lovers alike.
