EDITORS COMMENTS
Rosa gallica caerulea, also known as the Bluish-leaved Provins Rose, is a captivating and unique variety of the red rose (Rosa gallica). This exquisite flower is depicted in the illustration "Rosier de Provins a feuilles bleuatres" by the renowned Belgian botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840). The illustration is part of Redoute's masterpiece, "Les Roses," published in 1817. The Bluish-leaved Provins Rose is a member of the Rosaceae family, which is in the order Rosales, class Magnoliopsida, subclass Rosidae, order Rosales, family Rosaceae, and subfamily Rosoideae. It is further classified as a eudicot, angiosperm, and magnoliophyte. The plant belongs to the Rosoideae tribe, Fabaceae subfamily, and the Rosa genus. The Bluish-leaved Provins Rose is characterized by its stunning pink flowers and its distinctive bluish-green leaves. The leaves are a striking contrast to the typical green foliage found in most rose species. The plant's unique appearance makes it a popular choice for gardeners and horticulturists seeking to add an element of surprise and intrigue to their collections. Redoute's illustration captures the beauty and elegance of the Bluish-leaved Provins Rose in meticulous detail. The artist's skillful use of shading and color brings the flower to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricate petals and veined leaves. The illustration is a testament to Redoute's mastery of botanical art and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The Bluish-leaved Provins Rose is not only a visual delight but also holds historical significance. It was once used by apothecaries for medicinal purposes due to its fragrant flowers and therapeutic properties. Today, it continues to be a source of inspiration for artists, gardeners, and botanists alike, reminding us of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
