Exotic flora and fauna was of great interest to British botanists in the 18th and 19th centuries, and such enthusiasm gradually filtered down to the general public. Travellers often returned to Britain with foreign plants and more commonly, paintings depicting numerous species of tropical flowers and fruits. The Chinese rose, called 'yue gui' in Chinese, was, and still is, a common garden flower in south China.
