Enotik & LadyOfNotes
I couldn't help but notice the delicate rose watermark on the new €5 note, it’s almost like a botanical illustration. Do you think it captures the essence of the species as well as the artist’s intent?
Ah, the €5 note—yes, that rose is *Rosa rubiginosa*, if I’m not mistaken. The artist probably wanted to evoke the *floribunda* spirit, but it does a splendid job of capturing the species’ *hirsuta* petals and sweet fragrance in ink. I’d say it’s a fine blend of botanical accuracy and artistic flair, though I might add a little *pH* note for the soil in the background!
