A sunny rose for a rainy morning…

The scent of this rose was truly sweet, I almost wanted to pick it… I didn’t.

The rose fragrance has always been a favourite of mine probably since I made my own scent by soaking rose petals in water and putting in a spray bottle, I did some fun stuff with my gran & great aunt when I was oh so young.

Did you know?
A pleasant smell like that of the rose, can reduce stress and lower the heart rate. The rose aroma has been shown to have anti-depressant benefits as it is traditionally used to calm and uplift.

Stop and smell the roses has lots of meanings…
