Tea Rose Hybrid 'La France' (Rosa x odorata): A Timeless Beauty from the Victorian Garden This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Tea Rose Hybrid 'La France' (Rosa x odorata), an enduring symbol of elegance and refinement from the Victorian era. The illustration is taken from Edward Steep's 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse,' published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was created by Desire Bois, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of botanical illustration. The 'La France' Tea Rose is a captivating hybrid, with its velvety, blush-pink petals unfurling around a golden center. This exquisite bloom is a descendant of the Old Rose, Rosa odorata, and was named in honor of Empress Josephine of Malmaison, who was known for her passion for roses and horticulture. The rose's evocative name, 'La France,' reflects its origins in France, where it was first cultivated. The 'La France' Tea Rose was particularly admired during the Victorian era for its intoxicating fragrance, which was said to be reminiscent of Damask roses and the delicate aroma of China tea. The rose's allure extended beyond its sensory appeal, as it was also cherished for its ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the autumn season. This beautiful chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the enduring charm of the 'La France' Tea Rose but also offers a glimpse into the rich horticultural heritage of the Victorian era. The intricate details of the rose's petals, the delicate veining of its leaves, and the vibrant colors captured in the illustration all contribute to a captivating work of art that continues to enchant and inspire gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike.
