Bourbon Rose, Souvenir de la Malmasion: A Victorian Botanical Marvel This exquisite chromolithograph captures the timeless beauty of the Bourbon Rose, Souvenir de la Malmasion, a beloved pompon rose variety from the late 19th century. The illustration, created by Desire Bois and published in Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse in 1896, showcases the rose in all its splendor. The Bourbon Rose, also known as Rosa 'Souvenir de la Malmaison,' is a Centifolia rose, a type that boasts large, fully double flowers with a high petal count. This particular variety was named in honor of the Malmaison Palace, the former residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife, Joséphine. The rose's deep, velvety red hue and its full, pompon shape were no doubt fitting symbols of love and luxury during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the rose's petals and the delicate veining on its leaves are expertly rendered in this chromolithograph, a printing technique that allowed for rich, vibrant colors and fine detail. The illustration's soft, romantic aesthetic is characteristic of the Victorian era's fascination with botanical beauty and horticultural pursuits. As a testament to the enduring allure of roses and the art of botanical illustration, this print continues to captivate and inspire gardeners, flower enthusiasts, and art lovers alike.
