Stieler's portrait of Botsaris

Katerina "Rosa" Botsari (Greek: Κατερίνα Μπότσαρη; 1820–1872) was a member of the Souliot Botsaris family. The daughter of Markos Botsaris, she was in the service of Queen Amalia of Greece as well as an admired young woman throughout the European courts - she was immortalised for the 'Gallery of Beauties' of Ludwig I of Bavaria in an 1841 painting by Joseph Stieler (a painting often mistaken for Amalia herself and wearing a dress now known as the "Amalia dress"). A Damask rose species bred in 1856 was named Rosa Botsaris after her. In 1845 she married Prince George Karatzas.
