My neighbour has a beautiful climing rose in her garden. We were chatting over the fence and I said how beautiful it was. She picked a flower for me so that I could enjoy the amazing fragrance. We discovered that as children we both used to soak rose petals in water to make perfume.
a beautiful rose. Its such a shame that most roses you buy in a florist have no scent at all. My favourite and probably the only one I know by name is Cecile Brunner. I had it in my wedding bouquet and my grandpa grew it in his garden. Have you read For the Love of a Rose, a true story of two rose growing families in France.
Beautiful rose. My granddaughter in NZ made some rose water during our last visit. I was amazed...it didn't smell bad at all, much better than the stuff I used to make 150 years ago!
