I am happy to present a very nice retired Botanic Garden larger size 15.5 by 11.5 inch placemat featuring the Dog Rose or Rosa Canina motif. These tablemats were made years ago with a melamine surface on a wood-like base with a cork backing. It is in very nice condition overall, but does have a few minor signs of wear so please be sure to see the full description below.

Please Note: When I took pictures it was hard to get the lighting even. Any areas that look darker than others are only from uneven lighting. In person, the background color is very consistent overall.

The Dog Rose motif, famous for its huge bee, was an original 1972 flower on salad plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in a 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.

---> Plant Close Up <---

Size	Just a tiny bit under 15-1/2" by 11-1/2" and about 1/4" thick
Front / Back	The flat matte finish surface is in very nice condition overall. Running along the upper right edge there is about a 1" wide by 1/8" strip where the paper is thin and the brown base material can be seen. The cork back also is in super condition with no missing pieces, rips, tears, or gouges.
Face / Background	A slightly off white color which is consistent overall. I have several that are the same color so were likely made in this color.
Stains	There is a round faint stain in the upper right near the laurel border. It is quite faint and not very noticeable.
Use Marks	There are little or no other signs of use on this Dog Rose tablemat!

There are no markings or stickers on the back and there may never have been any ID marks or stickers on this item.
