EDITORS COMMENTS
Tea Rose Hybrid 'Isabella Gray' (Rosa odorata) is a beautiful and fragrant addition to any garden, as depicted in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the horticultural masterpiece, 'Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe,' published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857. This stunning representation showcases the elegant, velvety petals of the Tea Rose, a hybrid of Rosa chinensis and Rosa odorata, which boasts a captivating gray-tinged hue and a delightful, intoxicating fragrance. The intricate details of the Tea Rose's delicate structure are expertly rendered in this meticulously crafted print, revealing the intricacies of its form and the subtle nuances of its coloration. The artistry of the handcolouring technique is evident in the rich, saturated tones and the precise, fluid lines that bring the flower to life. The Tea Rose, also known as the 'China Rose,' has a long and storied history, with records of its cultivation dating back to ancient China. It was first introduced to Europe in the late 17th century and quickly gained popularity for its exquisite beauty and intoxicating fragrance. The Tea Rose was a favorite among the European aristocracy, who cultivated it in their gardens and hothouses as a symbol of luxury and refinement. This print not only serves as a testament to the timeless allure of the Tea Rose, but also to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural pioneers who documented and preserved its beauty for future generations to appreciate.
