EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Ever-blooming Rose, Rosa chinensis var. semperflorens, or Rosa semperflorens, as it was commonly known during the 18th century. The image is taken from the esteemed Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1794, under the direction of the renowned botanist and horticulturist, William Curtis. The Ever-blooming Rose, also referred to as the Chinese Ever-blooming Rose or the Eternal Rose, is a captivating shrub that continues to captivate gardeners and nature lovers with its unending bloom. Unlike most roses, which typically have a distinct blooming season, this variety produces delicate, fragrant flowers throughout the year. The flowers, depicted in the engraving in their full splendor, are small, rosy-pink, and double-layered, with a velvety texture and a radiant sheen. The meticulous attention to detail in this hand-colored copperplate engraving is evident in the intricate depiction of the rose's veined leaves, the delicate petals, and the fine, interlaced stems. The botanical illustration serves not only as a testament to the artistic skill of the engraver but also as a valuable record of this charming and enduring plant species. The Ever-blooming Rose has a rich history, with records of its cultivation dating back to ancient China. It was introduced to Europe in the late 18th century and quickly gained popularity due to its continuous blooming and delightful fragrance. Today, it remains a cherished addition to many gardens, providing a touch of eternal beauty and charm.
