sweet and rich in Vitamin C; they can be added to herbal tisanes and also make a tasty jam. Combined with Hawthorn, Rose Hips make a safe and effective tonic for the heart. Rose hip seed oil from R. Rubiginosa
or R. mosquetta is used in creams, lotions and other beauty products. The cold- pressed oil by itself is lovely; this magical, ruby-hued serum heals burns and abra- sions after the initial pain is relieved. I in- fuse mine in the sun with St. Joan’s Wort to create a facial serum that keeps my skin soft and elastic and reduces wrinkles. It re- ally works, it’s good for you, and it is so much more economical than high-priced facial elixirs found in fancy beauty shops; the simple ingredients make a great deal of sense for the health of the planet too. You can’t tell me that the “blush is off the rose!” From the medical benefits and the
culinary delights, to the spiritual connota- tions and historical references, information about Rose could -and has- filled volumes. Sit with a Rose this summer, inhale her fra- grance, peer into her depths and experi- ence the peace she offers. Experience for yourself the myriad of gifts she offers from her heart… to yours.
“The sweetest flower that blows, I give you as we part. For you it is a Rose, For me it is my heart.”
