Not only do roses look good in the garden, but really, who wouldn’t like to bathe in Rose Water? That just seems beyond luxurious! Rose water has been used by the reigning beauties of the day as a natural skincare product, pretty much since the beginning of time. Think Cleopatra! – Shown above are rose petals combined with lavender, submerged and soaking in vodka. – By letting this mixture sit for a few weeks tightly sealed in a jar, and in a dark closet to percolate, by straining it and adding it to a spray bottle, one has an eco-friendly room spray. – Much better than that horrible chemical stuff being promoted ad nauseam on television. But I digress…
Roses are a perennial (pardon the pun), favourite of Brides, and with good reason! They’re quite simply the perfect cut flower for bouquets, (an example in my painting below), and, dried petals tucked in sachets, (above), makes for excellent wedding favors!
So, my hardy congratulations to the beautiful Rose. By any other name, I’m thinking it would still smell as sweet.
