"Rosa hemispherica" is a botanical illustration by the renowned German artist and botanist Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708–1770). Ehret, who is considered one of the most influential botanical artists of the 18th century, was known for his detailed and accurate depictions of plants, which combined both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal. This particular artwork, "Rosa hemispherica," represents a semi-double form of the Rosa centifolia (hundred-petaled rose) and is a testament to Ehret's mastery in capturing the intricate beauty of flora.

The illustration is characterized by its vivid coloration and the lifelike representation of the rose's delicate petals and foliage. Ehret's technique involved a careful observation of his subjects, often growing the plants himself to study them closely. His works were typically created using watercolor and gouache, occasionally enhanced with bodycolor or gum arabic to give a three-dimensional effect, a method that is evident in the rich texture and depth of "Rosa hemispherica."

Ehret's contributions to botanical art were significant during a period of intense interest in botany and the classification of plants. His illustrations were not only works of art but also important scientific records that aided in the study and categorization of plant species. "Rosa hemispherica" is one of many illustrations that appeared in his collaborative publications with leading botanists of the time, such as Carl Linnaeus and Philip Miller, who valued Ehret's work for its accuracy and detail.

Today, "Rosa hemispherica" is appreciated both as a historical piece of botanical illustration and as a work of art. It reflects the Enlightenment's quest for knowledge and the era's fascination with the natural world. The illustration is held in high esteem among collections of botanical art and is often cited in discussions of the development of botanical illustration as a scientific and artistic discipline.
