Looking for cabbage rose.


Looking for cabbage rose.

This is very nice old botanical illustration from 1833 by the renowned Pierre Joseph Redoute’.
This print features a Cabbage Rose, Anemone and Clematis flower in a stunning bouquet. Actually I put it here, as I am still looking for the rose like the one on the picture and didn´t find it after a year. At least I learned, they are called in English "cabbage roses". To me they look like peonies. So if whoever has tip what contemporary rose looks like "cabbage", I will be obliged, if you give me its name or suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you very much Meadowland. I know, it is called also rosa gallica and its petals are used for production of rose oil. Hmmm :) I am not sure, if it is available in Slovakia, as rosa gallica is not so common sort now. Thank you very much for the useful tip.

Hi, I know that, Bik :) You promised it to me "sometime":) Actually that would be nice to have that rose from Greece, as it originates somewhere around Mediterranean....
