by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Transport yourself back to the glory days of floral artistry with this stunning re-creation of Rosa Longifolia (Peach-Leafed Rose), created by the famous artist, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, on commission for the magnificent Malmaison gardens of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte. Printed straight from the original work in Redouté’s famous series of flower paintings, Les Roses (1817–1824).

Called “the Raphael of Flowers,” Redouté skillfully merged exact scientific detail with a sense of magical romance. The Rosa Longifolia is a type of China Rose known for its slender, long green leaves that resemble those of a peach tree set off by its beautiful pink flowers.
