Yellow Rose of Sulfur from Les Roses (1817–1824) by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Yellow Rose of Sulfur — Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Les Roses (1817–1824)

Pale gold petals built in translucent layers, neatly serrated leaves, and a cane pricked with fine thorns. This fine-art reproduction—after Redouté’s landmark botanical plate from Les Roses—pairs scientific exactitude with quiet elegance: immaculate line, subtle washes, and a poised composition that feels both timeless and fresh.

Why it captivates

• Botanical precision — faithful morphology and venation rendered with clarity.

• Sunlit palette — soft sulfur-yellow blooms balanced by cool greens.

• Airy minimalism — a clean ground lets contour and colour sing.

• From desk to salon — crisp at close view; graceful across a room.

• Heritage appeal — from the “Raphael of flowers,” refined and collectible.

What you’ll see

A single stem bearing sulfur-yellow blossoms and buds, with compound serrated leaves set along a slender, lightly prickled cane. Colour is laid in delicate layers so each flower holds depth without heaviness—light before outline, elegance without fuss.

A richer historical frame

Issued between 1817–1824, Redouté’s Les Roses stands at the pinnacle of 19th-century botanical art, fusing scientific purpose with luminous beauty. These engraved, delicately coloured plates fixed rose varieties for gardeners and connoisseurs while defining the elegant minimalism of classic botanical prints.
