Rose a cent feuilles, Rosa centifolia: A Glimpse into the Historical Beauty of a Timeless Flower This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Rose a cent feuilles, or Rosa centifolia, a captivating garden rose with a rich and storied past. The illustration, created by Mlle. Prudhomme, is a vignette from Homage Rendered to the Rose, a publication from Paris, circa 1815. The Rose a cent feuilles, also known as the Roses of the Hundred Leaves, is a classic and beloved variety of old rose. Its name derives from the numerous petals that seemingly surround its central bud, giving the appearance of a hundred leaves. This engraving beautifully captures the delicate intricacy and allure of the rose, with its velvety petals unfurling in soft shades of pink and white. The art of botanical illustration reached new heights during the 18th and 19th centuries, with artists and engravers meticulously documenting the natural world. Mlle. Prudhomme's illustration is a testament to this dedication, as she carefully captured the essence of the Rose a cent feuilles, its form, texture, and color. The handcoloring process further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the already stunning rose. The Rose a cent feuilles has a long and rich history, with records dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. It was highly prized for its beauty and fragrance, and was often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and as a symbol of love and devotion. Today, this historic rose remains a favorite among gardeners and flower enthusiasts, continuing to captivate and inspire with its timeless charm. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple beauty of a rose was celebrated and cherished. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the Rose a cent feuilles and the importance of preserving the natural world through art and documentation.
