Hudson Rosehip with Climbing Stems - Rosa Hudsoniana Scandens

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Elevate your interiors with the elegance of the French courts of old through this wonderful replica of Hudson Rosehip with Climbing Stems (Rosa Hudsoniana Scandens). Initially produced during the period of 1817 and 1824 by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, who is often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," this botanical artwork first appeared in his seminal publication, "Les Roses."

This botanical art piece was commissioned by Empress Joséphine Bonaparte, who sought to capture the beauty of the rosehip and climbing stems with their distinctive dusty pink petals and trailing wild stems as well as their detailed leaf patterns found on wild North American roses. Perfectly marrying scientific accuracy with artistic romance, this print would make an elegant centerpiece in any traditional interior setting.
