Turpentine-Scented Downy Rose - Rosa Villosa Therebenthina

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Add the sophistication of a classic French garden from the nineteenth century to your personal oasis. This stunning botanical print shows the Rosa Villosa Terebinthina, also referred to as the Turpentine Scented Downy Rose, as painted by the illustrious "Raphael of Flowers," Pierre-Joseph Redouté.

The unusual, resinous aroma, along with the downy leaves of the rare Rosa Villosa, is depicted in such exacting detail and using stipple engraving techniques that were the reason why Redouté was favored by Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine at the French court.
