Rosa Centifolia (Cabbage Rose) - Köhler, 19th century. (Rose Wall Art)
This print feels soft and classic on the wall. The rose has that full, layered look, with pale pink tones that stay calm instead of loud. The clean white space around the plant keeps it easy to read from across a room, so it works well as botanical wall art in a bedroom, hallway, or a quiet reading corner. It also pairs nicely with other art prints if you like a simple gallery wall for relaxed home decor.
About this print
This print is based on Rosa centifolia, often called the cabbage rose, from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a German herbal published in the late 19th. The work was issued in three volumes (1897., 1890., 1898.) and the color images were produced as chromolithographs.
A cabbage rose is known for its many petals and rounded, packed bloom, and you can see that focus here. The page is built to show the plant clearly, like a reference book, with crisp linework and gentle color laid on top. If you compare it with Papaver Rhoeas, you can see the same clean layout and “book page” clarity, just with a different shape and mood.
Craft & finish
This print is made on hand-processed paper, highlighted with subtle gold and sealed with beeswax for an authentic parchment feel. Please note that colors can look slightly different from screen to screen.

In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
