If it is not in Recently deleted folder then you have not deleted any Notes in last 30 days.
You may have moved it in other accounts.
You can't find it in the recently deleted folder, then probably you have not deleted any Notes in last 30 days.

Though restore from backup is an option but you need to restore the entire iPhone (only Notes restoration option does not exists) including all apps, Photos, Videos, Voice Memos, Notes on your iPhone etc...
The question is when did you backup and when did you delete...Read on...
Date1 : Backup date
Date2 : Notes Deletion Date
Date3 : Current Date / Restore Date
Given that --> Date1 < Date2 < Date3
Risk of restoring on Date3: You may lose data between the Date1 & Date 3
Mitigation: Create Multiple backup on iTunes for the same device. (By default iTunes creates incremental backup over the existing backup such that you only will have one backup per device on iTunes)
How to create Multiple Backup for the same device.
- On iTunes Click on Manage Backups
- Right Click on a Backup and Click Archive
- Click Backup Now.
- You will see a fresh backup will get created See the GIF below
- Restore from Backup dated Date1 (Archived)
- Retrieve the Notes and store it separately
- Restore from Current Backup Date3
