EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Wrinkled Rose, Rosa rugosa, as illustrated by Desire Bois for Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Wrinkled Rose, also known as the Rugosa Rose or the Flame Rose, is a hardy and attractive shrub that produces large, showy, pink to red flowers with a distinctive wrinkled texture. The illustration showcases the rose in all its glory, with its velvety petals unfurling to reveal their intricate, anemone-like center. The vibrant hues of the rose, ranging from deep red to fiery orange, are brought to life through the meticulous use of color in the chromolithographic process. The delicate veining and intricate details of the flower's petals and leaves are also beautifully rendered, making this a true work of art. The Wrinkled Rose was a popular choice for Victorian gardens and greenhouses, and was often grown for both its ornamental value and its ability to produce hips rich in vitamin C. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Wrinkled Rose, and offers a glimpse into the rich horticultural traditions of the past. Desire Bois was a renowned botanical illustrator of the late 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This illustration is a prime example of his skill and artistry, and remains a beloved classic in the world of botanical art.
