Rambling Rose Emery Blue/Spring Thicket Wallpaper

Rambling Rose depicts that iconic stalwart of forest walks and cottage gardens alike, the English rose. Climbing, twisting and turning, this thorned rose`s beguiling labyrinthine structure betrays the rose`s symbolisation of earthy love and purity. A rarer feature in his wallpapers, the rose was a motif William Morris repeatedly turned to in tapestry as well as in poetry.

Rose (here called Rambling Rose), from 1877, returns to the Morris & Co. range for the first time in many years in the Emery Walker`s House collection.
