EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Rockrose, Cistus symphytifolius, also known as the Tenerife Rockrose or Cistus vaginatus. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," produced by the renowned Belgian botanists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires between 1862 and 1865. The Rockrose is a captivating evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Its velvety, aromatic leaves and showy, five-petaled flowers in shades of pink, purple, and white make it a popular ornamental plant in gardens and hothouses across Europe. The intricate detail in this botanical illustration highlights the unique features of the Rockrose, from its serrated, ovate leaves to the delicate veining and subtle variations in petal color. The artistry of the handcolouring process brings the plant to life, enhancing its natural allure and making it a true masterpiece of horticultural art. The Rockrose is not only admired for its aesthetic qualities but also for its medicinal properties. Its leaves and flowers have been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including respiratory issues and digestive problems. The Rockrose remains a beloved plant in gardens and botanical collections, a testament to its enduring charm and beauty.
