Framed Print of Damask Rose, Medicinal Plant, 1737
"A Curious Herbal", Plate 82. The flowers of the damask rose made a gentle purge, according to Blackwell "frequently given to children and weakly persons." The Damask rose (Rosa ? damascena) is a rose hybrid, derived from Rosa gallica and Rosa moschata. It blooms for only a couple of weeks, during which time the petals are collected and steam distilled to produce true Bulgarian rose oil used in about 96% of all women's perfumes. The Damask rose has been an important medicine in every major traditional system of medicine on Earth. The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Europeans all depended on the healing power of this beautiful plant. Medicinally, it has been used for treatment of women's problems, skin diseases, and as a nervine used for depression and anxiety. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was a famed Scottish illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal" (1737). © NLM / Science Source
