Pro Juventute 1970: Wild Rose (Rosa canina)

Switzerland · 1970 · 10+10 Ct.

This stamp features a detailed illustration of a Wild Rose (Rosa canina), commonly known as the dog rose. The design highlights the delicate pink petals and green leaves of the flower. It was issued as part of the annual Pro Juventute series, which raises funds for child and youth welfare in Switzerland.

The Pro Juventute series is a long-standing Swiss philatelic tradition, with surcharges on the stamps directly supporting charitable causes for children. The 1970 set continued this legacy, focusing on the theme of native Swiss flora.
