Les Roses: Rosa Candolleana Elegans

Henry Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a botanical illustration of a flowering plant. The plant has a single brown stem with thorns, branching out into multiple stems. The leaves are green, oval-shaped, and have serrated edges. There are five white flowers with yellow centers; one fully open on the left, two fully open in the middle, one half-open on the right, and several red and green buds. The background is beige with darker spots and stains. Text at the bottom reads "Rosa Candolleana Elegans" and "Rosier de Candolle".
