EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Lady Banks Rose, Rosa banksiae, also known as Rosier de Banks. The image is based on a botanical illustration by Borromee, as featured in Pierre Boitard's "Rose-Lovers Complete Manual" published in Paris in 1836. The meticulous attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable, showcasing the intricate beauty of this climbing rose variety. Lady Banks Roses are named after Lady Marianne Banks, the wife of Sir Joseph Banks, who brought the first specimen of this rose back from South America in 1768. The plant was later introduced to Europe in 1796, and its popularity quickly spread due to its exceptional hardiness and attractive pink flowers. The Lady Banks Rose is a climbing shrub that can grow up to 15 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for covering walls or trellises. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop for the clusters of fragrant, pink flowers that bloom in late spring and continue throughout the summer. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the fascination with roses that existed during the 19th century. The intricate details captured in the print reflect the dedication and passion of the botanical illustrators and collectors of the time. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The print is a rare and valuable piece of botanical history, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the timeless allure of the Lady Banks Rose.
