About this plate

Rosa Muscosa Simplex is plate 39 of Les Roses, Vol. 1 by Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1817–1824). Today the species is known as the Single Moss Rose. This facsimile is made from the copy in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and printed at the size of the original sheet, 14¼ × 21½ in (36 × 54.5 cm).

About the original

Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) published Les Roses in three volumes between 1817 and 1824: 170 stipple engravings, many of roses from the Empress Joséphine’s garden at Malmaison. The colours were applied to the plate ‘à la poupée’ before each printing, a method Redouté refined, and every print was finished by hand.

Volume 1 of three; among its plates are the cabbage rose Rosa centifolia, the yellow Rosa sulfurea, moss roses and China roses (Rosa indica).
