Rose has always been in my family. My great grandmother always had a beautiful rose bush in the front of her home among the city. Even in this concrete jungle, she had a bountiful rose bush that was fragrant and whose thorns were thick. She managed to cut through them to trim back what was no longer needed and allow for an even greater bloom the following year. Since then she has passed, and the house has moved on to a new family, but the memory of her care and attention to the rose remains with all of us.
When I moved in with my partner a few years ago, I was so happy to see a rose bush in his mothers garden. She tends to it the way I remember my great grandmother doing so, and she teaches me. We have a beautiful bush of pink roses, so fragrant. More fragrant than any I have smelt. When they initially bloom, we let them decorate the bush for a few days before I cut the blossoms and make rose water with them. We keep a bottle in the fridge for sweltering days or days when we do a lot of yard work.
Rose water is anti-bacterial, fragrant, cooling and refreshing. It’s perfect as a toner after you wash your face and before you add any serum or moisturizer. Use rose water after a day in the sun to cool you and over cuts and scars to heal the skin.
My rose water is made using the distilling process. I use roses that I foraged ethically from a local area as well as roses that grow in my garden. The water used comes from a local spring that I collect and while being distilled I sing to the medicine. I then add a drop of rose essential oil for added benefit and dried roses.
Made on unceded Lenape Land in ceremony and reverence for the plants.
Comes in a 4oz spray bottle.
