EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Auguste Oger tea rose hybrid (Rosa chinensis), a captivating bloom from the gardens and hothouses of Europe as depicted in the renowned botanical publication, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The tea rose, Rosa chinensis, is a species native to China and has been cultivated for its fragrant flowers since ancient times. The Auguste Oger hybrid, named after its creator, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticulturalists of the time. The delicate petals of this tea rose are a rich, velvety pink hue, with a golden yellow center, and the leaves are a deep green. The intricate details of the rose's veins and the delicate texture of its petals are masterfully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. The lithograph was produced by the esteemed collaborators Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, whose combined expertise in botanical illustration and horticulture resulted in a publication that was considered the standard reference for European gardeners and horticulturists. This timeless piece not only showcases the beauty of the Auguste Oger tea rose hybrid but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the passion for horticulture that drove the creators of this masterpiece.
