Andrews, renowned for his meticulous work, produced this stunning image as part of his comprehensive monograph on the genus Rosa, published in London in 1805.

This rose species, with its elegant and refined appearance, was a popular addition to the gardens of the time. This historical botanical print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascination with the natural world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this print are a testament to Andrews' masterful skill and dedication to documenting the natural world.
