EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the evergreen rose, Rosa sempervirens, also known as the Evergreen Rose, Rosier toujours vert, or the Perpetual Rose. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Mlle. F. Legendre and beautifully rendered in lithography by Lecouturier for inclusion in Pierre Boitard's "Rose-Lovers Complete Manual," published in Paris in 1836. Rosa sempervirens is a unique and captivating rose species, distinguished by its ability to retain its foliage year-round, unlike most other rose varieties. Its evergreen nature makes it a popular choice for gardens in warmer climates, as it provides a lush, verdant backdrop throughout the seasons. The lithograph captures the delicate beauty of the evergreen rose in intricate detail, with its glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of small, pink flowers adorning the branches. The artistry of Mlle. Legendre and Lecouturier's collaboration is evident in the precise rendering of the rose's veins, petals, and thorns, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. As a testament to the enduring appeal of the evergreen rose, this lithograph remains a valuable and captivating addition to any botanical or garden-themed collection. Its historical significance and artistic merit make it a must-have for those with a passion for horticulture, botany, or the natural world.
