Pompon Rose is a 1820 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single rose stem with three buds. Two buds are open, deep red with bright yellow centers, and one is still closed. The leaves are green with a waxy look, and the background is plain white. The stem curves slightly, holding the flowers at different heights. The name at the bottom calls it *Rosa Pomponia Burgundiaca*—a fancy way to say "pompon rose." These kinds of detailed flower drawings were often made to show rare or special plants.
