More About Roses

No other plant is as intimately linked with love as the rose. When selecting healing roses, seek out the old-fashioned scented types such as those listed below, rather than the more neutral tea roses:

• Apothecary's Rose: the fragrant rose from which a very high quality of rose water is made.
• Belle de Crecy: considered by some to contain the purest rose scent.
• Celestial: a rose with a crisp and clean aroma.
• Kazanlik: a Bulgarian rose oil also called attar of roses is made from this rose. It throws off a potent smell - very heady.
• Maiden's Blush: is considered to be a more refined scent.
• Madame Isaac Pereire, Guinee, and Souvenir de la Malmaison: are stunning and highly fragrant.

Roses are beautiful and like the lotus, they suggest female genitalia in the height of passion. The blush of the rose is often compared to the blush of a bride or a sexual partner during orgasm....
