The story

A rose named for the nurseryman who raised it, and one of a good many in Les Roses that no longer exists in any garden anywhere. The rose trade of the early nineteenth century produced varieties at a furious rate and lost them just as fast; when a named rose stopped selling it simply stopped being propagated, and a decade later it was gone. For dozens of them this book is the only surviving evidence. A plate can outlive the plant by two centuries.

About this reproduction

A faithful reproduction of a public-domain plate held by Bibliothèque nationale de France · via Wikimedia Commons — the work is centuries out of copyright (1817–1824).
Printed to order on archival cotton-rag stock, pigment inks rated 100+ years (inscribed pieces and atelier bouquets are set by hand and printed to order).
Colour-managed to the source scan: the hand-colour is the colourist’s, not ours. We correct nothing and invent nothing.
Ships in 5–10 business days, rolled in a heavy-wall tube (framed pieces ship flat-packed).
If it arrives less than perfect, we reprint or refund — your choice.

Why our plates cost more than a poster: we print from the highest-resolution scans in existence, at sizes where the engraving itself becomes visible — the stipple that makes a petal look soft, the wash of the hand-colourist, the veins of the leaf — on stock made to outlive its owner. A poster reproduces the picture. This reproduces the plate.
