Rosa Gallica

The most painted rose in the world.

The French rose at the height of her bloom, petal folded over petal in soft rose pink, with two buds still closed on the thorned stem and botanical leaves fanning below. Reproduced faithfully from the original engraving, down to the fine stippled shading that gave the plate its impossible softness.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté painted this rose for Les Roses, the folio he made as court painter to Empress Joséphine at her garden outside Paris. They called him the Raphael of Flowers, and more than two hundred years on, no one has drawn a rose better. Rosa gallica is among the oldest roses ever brought into cultivation and the most reproduced botanical image ever made. We printed it the way he drew it, and left it alone.
