EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration is a captivating portrayal of Rosa bifera macrocarpa, also known as Lelieurs Four-Seasons Rose, depicted in exquisite detail by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840). The illustration is taken from Redoute's celebrated work, "Les Roses," published in 1817, and is entitled "La Quatre Laisons Lelieur." Rosa bifera macrocarpa is a beautiful and unique species of rose, belonging to the Rosaceae family, which is known for its distinctive four-season blooming habit. The plant is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces enclosed seeds, and is a eudicot, meaning it has two embryonic seed leaves. It is also an eurosid, a subclass of the larger clade Rosids, and a Fabidae, a superfamily within the Rosids. The illustration showcases the rose's large, pink, velvety petals, each with a golden-yellow center. The plant's foliage is dark green and glossy, and its stems are covered in small, prickly thorns. The rose's name, "bifera," refers to its two-lobed leaves, while "macrocarpa" means "large fruit," a reference to the rose's large hips. Redoute's illustration not only captures the beauty of this remarkable rose but also highlights its botanical significance. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors make this a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Four-Seasons Rose continues to be a favorite among rose enthusiasts and botanists, and this illustration remains an enduring testament to Redoute's artistic genius and his contributions to the field of botanical illustration.
